[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1331560, member: 22295"] Either attended or watched 4 sales. All were production sales. Three were in my area. Angus bulls and females overall have been a lot softer except at one sale compared to last year. One Angus sale and both Hereford sales in this area had averages on the 2 y/o's over 5 and the one Hereford sale saw around 4,500 on the yearlings. One Angus sale I attended the yearlings average was 5,1000. Where it was really soft was on the females. One sale had both Herefords and Angus. The Herefords outsold the Angus by 7-800 dollars on every head and in some cases more. Saw bred commercial Hereford heifers bring 3,000 dollars at it. So was hard to get a real feel for what was selling. Talked to one Hereford breeder who always consigns to a regional bull sale and he said he sold out in 5 weeks at his house so had no bulls to take. But others especially non Hereford breeders are telling me the same story the OP stated. Seeing some quality bulls being offered for around 3 now. The same bull would of broung 5 last year. [/QUOTE]
