My 8 year old son really likes Brahman cattle. Recently a local sale barn advertised a few head of heifers to be in the sale. I went thinking that I could bring one home for him. I figured it would be an easy way for him to spot his cow and that we could keep the heifers out of it and slowly start him his own herd. I would estimate the heifers that sold to be about 700 lbs, Good quality, and weaned. When they went through, they brought about double what a continental heifer of the same quality would have brought. There was five in the lot and they sold for $1450/head. Needless to say, I suffered from sticker shock and came home with an empty trailer. I was just interested to know if this price variance was typical around the country or if they were more expensive because they are not that common in my neck of the woods.
