Baldy heifers

Help Support CattleToday:

How much are they worth? At the sale barn they should bring good money. When I am done with these last two heifers I will not be buying heifers again. You can't afford to lose one. I wish I would of listen to CB.
 
You know they sound high, but when you really put your calculator to them they aren't that far off. In m area, you'd put some miles on your truck, and some time in the truck seat putting together a group of almost 50 uniform baldie heifers.
 
I know where there are 50 hd 8wt yearling angus heifers for 1400
A nice set too

It'd be a long time making them baldy's pay
 
Back when I was still roping I use to see people put some pretty high prices on horses just to get some attention. They really didn't want to sell them unless someone wanted to pay the high price. They really just wanted to see what someone might offer them so they would know what the horse was actually worth.
 
I believe he is a little high as the demand is/has shifting away from CAB and more to Chars.
But he does have the factor of a shortage of cattle/good heifers going in his favor.
And that might just be his starting price.

It don't hurt to ask and you might get an offer higher than you're really wanting

Last Sunday AC and I drove 120 miles to look at a set of "nice, ready to breed in 60 days" blacks and black baldy's for a 1,000 a piece. 10% were replacement quality, the rest feeder heifers.
Weight was off by 200 lbs too.
 
The father of the guy that runs one of the local sale barns here told me killer cows brought 2$ lb recently.
"Yikes", was all I could say.
I don't keep up with markets much, but I never got that much for one.

I've been to the barn the last two weeks in Hattiesburg and didn't see anything close to that for kill cows.
