After steers were weighed yesterday I made a 4.5 hour trip north and west to look at private treaty bulls. This will be the fourth year buying from this breeder. We walked the pens, had a great visit and I wrote down comments on about 20 bulls on a clear -14 c morning. Went to the office and made a short list of 7 bulls that I wanted. She asked if I had looked at the prices on them and I said no but they will average out. Added up and divided by 7 came to $7350 apiece. Made the three yearling steers per bull rule come into place. Forgot to take photos but I will have some forwarded me in a couple days. I like owning good bulls. Cows can be cheap but never scrimp on bulls!

How did you get to see their feet in all your snow. I don't think I would be too keen heading further north from your place Dave.

Is that up in price?
I heard some other people saying bulls have gone up already with the cattle prices.

Somewhat up yes. The sale I bought two bulls in January out of was up $800 on 400 two year olds.
Push them to the packed, icy spots Ken, better than concrete.

Hey, I gotta ask... If I wanted to come into Canada do I have to have a reason? Do you know? We were thinking about crossing somewhere north of Montana and heading west to Vancouver and then down into Seattle just to the country a little this summer. I haven't checked anything out yet but wondering with all the covid crap and such.
Most tourists don't need a reason other than to see real live Canadians. Not sure the plague rules.

There's a lot of Canadians that come down to Deadwood South Dakota for the gambling. I like them at the poker table when I get up there to play.

I just got back from Peter Ulrich's dispersal sale in Alberta. I got the metaphorical colonoscopy at Coutts. I guess they didn't believe that someone would drive up from California to buy cows.
