I took 7 cows and 2 replacement heifers in Monday to our normal sale. These cows were all good young cows just were going to calve outside of my recently shortened calving window. Heifers weighed 801 and brought $1.19. The 7 cows were 2nd and 3rd period and averaged $1500. There was an additional 50 or so bred cows that had been advertised to this sale but this was not actually a special cow sale. All of those cows in the 2nd and 3rd period averaged around that $1500 mark too.
About two weeks ago I bought some BM pairs for $1225. All black with 200lb calves that had already been worked. Guy had lost his lease so these weren't trading cattle.
