For rhe last two weeks unregistered cows of any breed have been over 1k. Where as in the weeks prior you could get a bread cow from $300 and up. What is the reason for the price increase?
I am in North Carolina. It has been in 50's and 60's for a couple of weeks now.First question is where are you. If in the south its springtime there. I'm not seeing it anywhere within 200 miles of here. Slaughter cows are higher so that will make some difference.
I assume that calling them a 5 by 5 that you mean a 5 year old 5 months bred. You can't hardly give away a summer calving cow here. $750 is just barely keeping her out of the kill pen. But $1,000 is more than a summer calving cow will bring here.Several five-by-five and 6 by fives went for 750 to 1000 today
Pretty good looking cows actually
Yep. I guess that's why they were being sold. Even saw a 5 year old pair go for 1100 today. Pretty good looking pair!I assume that calling them a 5 by 5 that you mean a 5 year old 5 months bred.

Murraysmutts. I saw a picture similar to your today on pinterest. How did you get that cow to wear your hat? Neat picture.Yep. I guess that's why they were being sold. Even saw a 5 year old pair go for 1100 today. Pretty good looking pair!
I guess if a guy didnt mind calving them out and holding the bull off a few months, to move to fall calving, might be ok.
But oklahoma can be brutal HOT in the summer. Flies can be a killer too.
I dont think I would want a 300 dollar bred cow... cant imagine what it would be
I was thinking that they are being fed old bread and bakery waste. It is such a hassle to unwrap that bread and then what do you do with all those wrappers.I'm normally not the spelling police, but when I see bread cows, I think of cornbread calves.
Neighbor drove a milk truck, and was in cahoots with the guys on the chip and cookie truck. He topped out hogs with cookies, chips, and milk. Pretty lucrative I'd think.I was thinking that they are being fed old bread and bakery waste. It is such a hassle to unwrap that bread and then what do you do with all those wrappers.
