[QUOTE="jscunn, post: 872868, member: 1257"] I disagree with everyone above, if they are top quality heifers that is what the market is dictating down here in the SE. I saw 200 heifers go thru the ring in August and they went from $1875 to $1200 the 1800 were good and the 1200 were not so good.. Good open heifers at the same sale averaged $982 (range $1150-$950) so finding GOOD bred heifers for $1000 is a pipe dream.. Just make sure they are good not just because he says they are.. If/when Texas straightens out the bred heifer market in the SE is gonna get crazy. $1800 may be a tad high but it isnt crazy if the quality is there. It is the new normal, it costs alot to get a heifer to that point now. Good luck [/QUOTE]
