Nope. Too rich for me! But this is what they are bringing all over the country private sale. Maybe when the import ban is lifted the prices will go down some, but it might not be much. Or for very long. The guy buying mine called today about picking up the July calves Sunday, and told me starting with these, he is paying us $.25 more on the steers, and $.20 more on the heifers. I think the next few months is going to be interesting to watch. I think this is the time to sell out, put your money in the bank, and just sit back and watch! If we hadn't contracted for all of our calves, that is exactly what I would be doing now!
I have to say, these cows looked to be in as good a condition as I have seen, but dang!!
Can't make the link work here. But I was talking with a couple of the people from the sale over drinks n dinner tonight. Just happenstance. Those cows were bought several years ago at real good prices. The prices you used to talk about on the one thread u had.
Try it now.
Calves sold last week. Most folks would've never known by seeing them. Brought near as much as the bred cows. Lots of black baldy calves. And a few red baldies.
Yeah, even those $2k black ones will yield a calf that will bring what she costs, (or even more, if a steer) bred to the right bull. Won't get 2 to 3 times what the cows costs, like we did until 2023, but the 1st calves by the right homo for polled and black bull will pay for even those $2k cows.
My uncle was the city manager at Fairview and my grandfather was the city manager in Clinton. I didn’t know they were cow hot spots!
Dang, Murray! Corrientes and Black Hereford in the same post?!! You just need to add how stupid it is to retain heifers, when you can buy Corriente cows, breed them to Black Herford bulls, so all your calves will top the sale bringing CAB premium! LOL.
Idk what the calves brought. But I'll bet they brought 1200 to 1500 depending on how big they were. Maybe more!! I haven't been watching the calves sell. But the calf market is terrible high right now. I usually head back to work after cows sell. Sale barn owner was barking about the calves all sold last week tho.
was this a recent oklahoma corriente sale y'all were referring to?
No, that was the regular sale in Enid last week that had a lot of good Corriente cows, that @MurraysMutts tagged me in his post.
Can't make the link work. Is it the 4000 dollar cripple?
