Do the math..10,000 straws at $50=what???255,000 don't seem like that much when you do the math...These people spending that on cattle are the same people having million dollar bull sales each spring, they see it as a good investment not a insane amount of money for a cow that they can't get a...

Just something I found interesting..At the Three Tree's Angus sale this past spring, lot 1 was choice of four females who's sire and dam were 7/8 siblings..It sold for $70,000 And not that this has any relation to cattle but I breed working dogs and with them the tighter they are bred the more...

I was just using an example..The ranches you mentioned like Gardiner have there cattle topping sales all over the country..As well as countless others..Any time you can sell over 100 bulls in a day and average over $3500 per bull with all selling for over $2500 you know that someone likes the...

Also I think a good way to judge the quality of a ranches cattle is buy the bulls they sell..If the commercial ranches keep coming back paying top dollar, theres a reason for it..

Gardiner Angus Ranch doesn't ever buy cattle, there cattle top every Angus sale in the Country..They have sold quite a few over 250,000...And of the 900 plus they sell each year they average about $7,000 per lot...I think it's about who owes Uncle Sam the most money when it comes to alot of...

I was at the Hudgins and G.G. sale and I was very impressed with the cattle..I got sick and wasn't able to make the Three Trees sale though..

What were the high sellers?What was the average?

Let me go into depth to explain what I meant..It is fairly easy to find a homo black bull that will throw nothing but black calves..Now getting a complete set of tested homo black cows to make sure all the calves out of a hereford bull is not so simple and a waste of time and money..

Are you set on Angus Hereford crossed cattle or is it black baldies your wanting? If you had angus cows you could use a simmi bull and get all black baldies, well not all but all would be black...If it is you want Hereford x Angus black baldies you are going to get alot more black calves if you...

Express has several sales each year with a huge difference in the cost of the cattle....The Fast Forward averages over 10,000 every year..The spring bull sale they sell Limi and Angus bulls for every budget..The Honor roll sale is heifers and a few steers for mainly junior show projects.. I have...
