just got a $1300 check today for selling 2 calves. one was 330lbs @ $2/lb. the other was 400+@ $1.80 so I bought quality bred cattle for what I sold small calves for edit: calves were bulls and not vaccinated.

yep, Saturday I bought one heifer 7 months bred fir $900 and one 7 year old 5 months bred for $700. both black and quality looking.

I would like to remind you that not everyone at the sale barn is an old hand. sale barns do attract the new beginners also. I think that if they get a raw deal a few times or feel deceived than they may quit or worse share their stories of misfortune and mistreatment with others.

so the thought is if you have the grass run the claves longer and grow them for a few extra dollars. but wouldn't it make more sense to sell them at the smaller size and just run more animals. I would rather sell two $600 calves than one $800 calf. what are your thoughts?

well some of those sound way worse than my situation. i did get $622 for her she was 5yrs old andbred weighed 970lbs. to that money and some more and bought a nice tame bred hefier. we will see how that goes but i am glad to be rid of her.

well i finally managed to get my one wild a$% crazy cow into the corral and loaded on the trailer. it to a year and a half but i did it. Thank you Lord! She broke the corral in several places and the rest of the cows got out, but i got her!!! i could not believe it. i drove her straight over to...
