We got this big young cow for $500 during the drought.
We should do good with her.
I thought for sure she would have a European calf, but maybe someone was raising rodeo bulls?

Thread was kind of short lived. All the red tag resale cows are gone except one. She's got a heck of a steer on her but she stifled. Gonna let her raise that fat boy a while!
She will still make money just gonna take longer. Shame a nice young cow like that too

She'll still make money, as in burger? Big suck for such a nice cow, but hard to sell one that's stifled without taking a direct hit.

The money is in her calf.
Cow was bought right as a short bred.
She was further along than short bred evidently.
I'll get a pic next time I'm over there

Ok, here ya go!
I bought the cow for my dad and my kids as a 3yr old bred in the 3rd period for $325.
She’s a darn good little mama. This is her 4th calf for us and last year they got the great idea to breed her to a longhorn.
Of course the way my luck runs its a heifer calf

I buy a lot of sale yard bred cows every year. I have had some surprises. But never one which I would consider fun.

Here's that "stifle" cow.
Amazingly she's walking real good today. May work out after all.
Her calf too.
I really think her calf will bring what we got in her. Whatever the cow brings is cake.

This red cow is a TANK. Her new calf is pretty dern sharp too!
None of these were supposed to be calving yet. At least 2 more are close. Plan was to sell heavy bred next month. Plans change.
