[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1785329, member: 498"] I love it when I make money on my mistakes. I hauled 4 heifers to the sale today. Two were off cows that came in late. The other 2 I bought back when buying steers. When they came in the ring old mumble mouth John the auctioneer said steers. The ring men probably corrected him but I didn't hear that because of another distraction. So I bought 2 heifers thinking I got a deal on two steers. They weighed 400 and cost $1.72. Today they weighed 457 and sold for $1.95. I fed them a while but the weight gain covered the feed cost. The price increase is my reward for making a mistake. They sold in a group along with one of the late cows calf. 2 blacks and one solid red. A touch under $900 for 457 pound heifers works for me. [/QUOTE]
