If your neighbor got em in south Texas he didnt get those prices. North Texas prices usually are nickle to a dime higher. Hope this helps

Talked to a guy who just had 40 young, 6 yrs. and under, cows brought up from Enid, Ok. 15 bred and 25 open. Said they were in pretty good condition, not too thin, good looking cows. Delivered for $.70.

if you got the money an the feed you can get bred cows for .50 to .60 a lb.all you have todo is sitt back an pick out the good 1s.

Yes. Turn them next spring when everyone is looking.

It sure would be nice to be sitting on 1000 bales right now - in more ways than one. You could put your egggs in several baskets.
