How many breeds in that woodpile mess? Just Holstein x Angus or more than that?

As an everyday reader but random poster, it's becoming less entertaining for every post to turn into an argument about black-hided cattle vs others nonsense. We don't all have to be right all of the time. Please humble yourselves and let this topic return to it's original purpose - "Craigslist...

I posted him this morning at $1950. Now that he's on Craigslist, I really hope he doesn't pop back up on this thread again. Thanks all!

I'm guessing in the 600 range

This is a 6 month White Park X Angus bull calf that we have. With his coloration, thickness and scrotum size I was thinking of posting him to Craigslist just to feel people out. My guess is he is 600 lbs. Thoughts on where to price him at?

For less than $20 in vet fees and supplies per head it yielded me $150/ head or so more than I had anticipated had I sold on a normal Wednesday. I switched to following the GLA program years ago and have topped the normal Wednesday sale but this was the first time I hauled them to the feeder...

Yes. I have always done the GLA program but thought ahead this year to coordinate everything to coincide with their fall feeder special.

They had 1 round of shots, wormed and were weaned 46 days. I was anticipating $1.40 for the heifers and $1.70 for the steers which was where our market has been the last few weeks,

We weaned and sold this year's calf crop a little early due to the current higher prices and we were pleasantly shocked. Seven total calves netted nearly $5200 after commission, yardage etc. BWF HFR 365 lbs $1.94 HERF STR 445lbs $1.80 BWF STR 480lbs $2.00 BWF STR 405lbs $2.05 WFX HFR 425lbs $1.70

From the way it sounds we were lucky to have sold ours 2 weeks ago. We retained our heifers this year and just sold the steers. 490 avg weight on the steers at $1.60/lb. I was pleased.
