I am watching them sell bulls now. if anyone in the area needed one, today would be the day to buy one. Dunno why they are running them through in groups of 4-6, though. They'd do more one at a time. Anytime a bunch of cattle are in the ring, you bid on the worst one. These 1600 lb bulls are selling for about $1 a pound
With the numbers that have come to town, prices are dropping. Most of the sales in East texas were calling packer cows and bulls $4 to $6 lower yesterday.
I mentioned this in another thread but sale barn owner told me last night that one packer buyer had pulled out and the rest were dropping $15 on their orders.
I bet big fat cows will continue to do ok but the packers will not be nearly as interested in the skinny cows that won't yield so well.
That's what showed today. And not necessarily fat. But high yielding.
Fine with me young skinny cows are my type. I'll buy a young thin before I'll buy a in shape one
I think he is trying to say he buys cattle that have not had enough to eat. He provides the grass (if he has it) and gets them back into normal condition. Now is a great buying opportunity if you have grass as many producers are selling some of their better cows because of lack of grazing and/or water.
Dad worked for an old rancher that said he would rather have two skinny cows instead of one fat one, and I guess he had lots of cows. His ranch was 30 mile wide and 90 miles long. Dad didn't think he really knew how many cows he had.
You're not insinuating that green energy sources mess with the environment, are you? You're talking about the future of mankind there!
. Everything has it's place I guess. It is seriously hot here though. Hoping we at least get a pop up shower soon. They been coming up around us the last few days.La300 Ivermectin muiltimin90
Oh health issues will always come about buying from a barn. Everything gets LA300 symptoms or not. I pass right by my vets office on way to house I stop in and say hello every time. Good relationship with your vet and hay man are a must in this buisness
As a kid I worked for a old man off and on his favorite type cows a old mean ass thin brimmer I learned to be quick on my feet and can climb a oak tree like a cat squirrel. I'm only 30 now and that old man taught me a lot of lessons #1 don't buy brimmers #2 never leave home with out s rope in the truck
