anybody else seeing this,, i guess with the high price of slaughter bull's.. and cattle shortages have brought this on, aleast private treaty.
hope he knows what he's doing,, though alot of good ones to be had at the barn now.. i would'nt want to just turn one out with my cows.. with out some type of background on him and his healthshowing71":1w6mk1nk said:We sold out last month and still have people calling. One guy told us that he's going to buy an older slaughter bull this year to get him by and then come this fall after weaning to pick out his bull for next year.

My customers are usually the ones whose bull just went bad or out shopping and really liked my bulls. Not sure if there's a shortage around here or just more ready to buy due to high calf prices.

Your post reminds me of one of the few sales I attended earlier in the year - seems like the closer you got to the end of the sale the higher the prices and the less particular the buyers became. If I was selling bulls I would want mine to be the last one in the sale!? Jim
