[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1826728, member: 40587"] Well, solved the [I]"$50 steer for $750" [/I]problem today. I bought a tawny colored Corriente cow today with a 340 lb , Braunveih, POLLED, bull calf on it at an auction. Scott's brother was atythe sale, and brought him to his house tonight. He is bringing it with him Saturday when he comes down to the Kudzu Place for opening day. We gonna turn them out on the 450 acres of row crop residue and when we move the herd back to the Kudzu place in February, I will take that calf to the butcher. If this guy who has been buying all of our Corr herd don't want her for $600, I will breed her to the bull we will use on the Plummers next spring. Unless she is already bred. Scott's brother said he talked with the seller, and the calf is about 4 months old, He said she had been running in the pasture with that same Braunveih bull.
