[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 615211, member: 1726"] Last month I culled 4 cows. One had a bad hip, two were getting old, and the last was a Hereford cow that was an idiot. I got any where from $.20-$.47 a pound for the first three. The crazy Hereford brought $.02 or $2 per hundred. Now this cow was not all that bad but I just got tired of her acting like a fool at working time. She was blind in the left eye from an old wound that I suspect she stuck a tree limb or stick in at some time. So, yesterday I call the market to see if they had made a mistake. The lady asked me for the code in the comments. It was a big long number with BEY at the end. She said the BEY meant bad eye and the regular big beef buyers can't buy injured cows. I asked why they paid $.20 a pound for the cow with the bad hip then and she said she had no clue. The hipped cow walked with a very pronounced limp. They have put up signs now that states the cow basically has to be mobile or they won't take them. I guess I times have changed and I learned something. Next time I will hamburger any cow I don't think they will take. [/QUOTE]
