    Help with sale barn process

    First thing I'd do is talk to the sale barn field-man, tell him what you have for sale. In your area, you don't want to sell light feeder cattle just yet, wait another month for some grass-cattle sales. Heavier feeder cattle could be sold now, would've been better a couple weeks ago. The...

    best place to get tax info on the cattle biz

    I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you pay taxes on raised replacements until you sell them, and then it's at a different tax rate, than steers, for instance. My bred heifers go under form 4797, along with raised heifers with intention to sell, cows and bulls sold after intended use. (after...

    Bred Heifer Prices

    Hope ya don't take this the wrong way, but...... most every other rancher CAN"T raise those type of replacements! Most herds are crossed up so much, there's very few straight bred commercial herds anymore.
