Glad they sold well for you. Did you get docked a few weeks ago or what?cowgirl8":376pf9wa said:We hauled off all the steers off this herd yesterday. There were 19, born between March to May. Weight average 651... All sold excellent...When I saw my husband walking out the door with the check with a big smile, priceless. After the 30 cent debacle a few weeks ago, I needed this. Most were grouped and bought by just a few buyers. Colors were from lite red, brindle and black....all grouped in mixed colors. So, doesn't matter the color, just matters if its a good meaty calf...FYI, big calves are hot right now.....
Against my better judgment, but since he's proven to be a producer and his calves bring prime money his first year, i'll post a picture of him now... I'll ignore the comments, not asking suggestions, critiques, or opinions.... Not the best looking bull, but when every steer he produced Feb to May averaged 651 on the same day, who could argue his productivity...Lazy M":1j9d6x4j said:They look like dandy calves. Do you have a recent pic of the bull? I saved a few of our ai bull calves from last fall, and I am looking forward to seeing how they do.
As the old saying goes "The proof is in the pudding". Hard to argue with those results. POS is not necessarily an obvious trait. I've seen some POS calves come from some out of this world cattle "ON PAPER".True Grit Farms":3ia9fta3 said:I guess when you have enough land and cows you can run a pos like him for a bull. You must of had him covering some really nice looking cows.
I agree 100% TB, good bulls of any color or breed are cheap right now. I just don't understand the logic.TexasBred":1t2rfcvu said:As the old saying goes "The proof is in the pudding".

Not a bad looking bull, and as you point out he's now a proven producer of good calvescowgirl8":26b73zx7 said:Against my better judgment, but since he's proven to be a producer and his calves bring prime money his first year, i'll post a picture of him now...
