Hello everyone just wondering what type of bull would y’all put on eared cows? We plan on selling steers and keeping heifers.
What breed of bull do y’all think would be the best for these cows?
We are located in Liberty County Texas close to Dayton TX!!
And the verdict is in… drumroll… like @Brute 23 had mentioned the black steers sold best. The 3/4 Brahman steer (#437) brought the least. The rest were as expected.
Total average weight: 529 lbs
Price per pound: $173.57
Per head: $918.49
Next steps for our small operation:
-tighten up the...
That’s the plan, we’re gonna be switching bulls soon. The cows already have enough Brahman in them to thrive in our area, we just need a good bull, we’re still deciding either a Charolais or an angus bull.
I just looked at the check of 3 similar steers that we took in July and they brought $1.31 on average. I’m hoping they bring more than $1.50 this time.
Since the market is doing a little better this time around my guess will be: $1.70.
