Brute I don't know all the reason's people dump good cattle other than they die and the kid's head for the salebarn as fast as they can. I do know and find out why some are sold by watching and listening. Man can learn alot on the catwalk. I buy quite a few opportunity cows every year through the barn.
I haul a lot for surrounding guy's . I know who has what in the area. I will let you decide who made or lost money.
This high yeller baldie I bought last year off the trailer before she unloaded at the barn all ready tagged in, I never let her get off the trailer . It is all about haveing an eye for the girl's and the cash in your billfold when the time come's.
The man that owned her had retained her didn't have enough grass for all he retained I paid 780 dollar's for her.
I should have bought the whole trailer load of them.
Now these two girl's the one in the front is 1/2 Shorthorn 1/2 Hereford was a retained heifer as well
she ended up getting culled for a register S/H heifer to stay paid 800 for her.
The Certified Golden F-1 came off one of the premier operation's around here that a girl got to show.
That heifer is halter broke, girl decided they didn't want to play the game ran her through the barn, picked her up for 1025. I can't raise them for that.
The girl in the front got picked out of a fellow's retained heifer pasture about two year's ago.
He had a Massey 135 that no one around here could fix, I had one for ever, told him I could fix it for a heifer of my choice. Took me about six hour's labor for that one.
