    Backyard grassers must have come to the sale.

    That was my thinking, I wear out more front pads than rear.

    Backyard grassers must have come to the sale.

    My 02 chevy has factory 16" rims and disc brakes all the way around.

    Backyard grassers must have come to the sale.

    Good point, some of them do last a lot longer now days, especially the 90s models- early 2000s but now I feel a lot are going the other way. Not so much that they will be worn out but they have more issues than they should for the price and age. I'm a big fan of 1999-2006 GM trucks, tahoes and...

    Backyard grassers must have come to the sale.

    I agree, there are a lot of us that just want a plain Jane truck to use as a truck. You can't even get a stick shift anymore either. Most of today's vehicles have so much stuff on them, they stay in the shop a lot and it cost an arm and a leg to fix them. My truck is 22 years old and my wife's...

    Backyard grassers must have come to the sale.

    We looked at those, the reviews were not great. I wish toyota made something similar.

    Backyard grassers must have come to the sale.

    I don't think anything has kept up with the inflation on vehicles, they are way overpriced and people just keep buying them and making payments longer and longer. My Dad taught high school auto body all my childhood and before I was born, he started in 74 I believe. He ordered a brand new...

    Close to $2.00 killer bulls

    There is a post on a beef facebook page I'm on where the guy says he took home 600 lbs of meat out of a 1385 lb steer and people are on there telling him how terrible that yield is, I told him despite what others said that 600 lbs take home was pretty good. Then some of the naysayers started in...

    Did you just get burger or did you get some bone in cuts as well?

    Close to $2.00 killer bulls

    Packers are making the money on the processing which I'm having to pay out of pocket. I agree with @Dave, I don't think you'll get the kind of yield you projected with a cow that's all burger, those are closer to the numbers I get on good young cattle in assorted bone in cuts and burger...

    Close to $2.00 killer bulls

    For me I will have another $480 tied up in processing costs on that cow + hauling + meat pickup so we'll say $600 for round numbers, so I'm at $7/pound to break even, not counting my time.

    Close to $2.00 killer bulls

    I don't see how the packers can turn a profit paying that for pound cows, if anyone sees what I'm missing please enlighten me. I was going to buy some pound cows to burger out for my customers but I can't see how I can come out without charging an arm and a leg for the burger.

    I think I am pricing cattle too cheap!

    Damascus has quite a few criollo cattle. They advertised on Facebook that they were going to have fresh roping stock yesterday. I'm not too far from them, I've bought a few cows there although I've never been in the barn, had the owner buy for me and one of his guys delivered them. I didn't...

    Which sale in Arkansas @Warren Allison ?

    Craigslist cattle

    He looks like a typical 6 month old full blood criollo, will probably grow out nicely for what he is. Zooming in on the pictures of the parents, looks like he has the potential to grow a nice set of horns. There’s a guy down in Texas I follow on TikTok that butchers that type of longhorn then...

    Says Milking shorthorn steer as opposed to the beef type of shorthorns.

    Baby calf prices

    I saw the 110lb one at $8.50/lb as well, that's absolutely insane, I never thought I'd see the day.

    Retaining heifers?

    I'd sell the heifers and hold on to any cow that was producing and if one had to be replaced I'd buy pairs, take the extra money you're making selling heifers and put it all towards the mortgage to pay it down. Then when the mortgage is gone you can use all the money you was paying towards it to...

    Why so popular?

    For lack of better terms, his back end looks like it outgrew his front end. I like a bull, or cow for that matter, that is pretty straight across the topline. But as mentioned, when that carcass is on the rail you will never know.

    Calf prices

    I paid $1600/head for some feeder steers Saturday, long time weaned and all their shots,balancer calves. I had one home raised steer that they matched up with age and size wise. Bought them straight off the farm, no scales but I'd guess them 650. I thought I was going to stroke writing the...

    Craigslist cattle

    I expect him to be breeding this summer :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. I can't even, these people! I mean he looks like a newborn calf and not a very good one at that. I bet they want over $1,000 for him. These people need someone to mentor them so they don't sound so ignorant...
