I bought some pairs & a heavy bred (all black) yesterday. Around here they are getting hard to find unless you want 25 head or more. 1- 2yr old with new born bull.
1- 3yr old with a month old heifer calf. 1- 7yr old with a month old bull calf. 1-8yr old heavy P3 cow. $9750.00 delivered. They sure seem high to me. :shock: LOL.
But, according to the market I think I did OK. Let me know what you all think. B&G

2 yr old pair. Calf not pictured she was hiding it. LOL

3 yr old pair. Month old heifer will be in last picture.

7 yr old pair. Month old bull calf will be in last picture.

8yr old heavily bred should calve any time.

Here's the month old calves

They all look real good to me. You were lucky to find them. Pairs are getting scarce here in Middle GA. I see fewer and fewer at the sale every time I watch it. They are really high now.
 
Good pairs are hard to find here. I would like to find 3-4 cow calf pairs or cows that will calve around march but haven't had any luck of finding any.
Your new cows look good.
 
Average of a little over $2,300 a pair, I would say that you did good. If the market holds for calves, you may end up paying a little over $1,000 bucks each for the mamma cows.
 
I'll take the older gals and let you keep that heifer. Might be a bit high for the group but unless the wheels just completely run off you'll do well on them. Good luck. ;-)

He ended up keeping that oldest P3 Cow as she was looking like she was trying to calf. I got the 3 pairs for $8000.00. 1 of those cows will weigh 1600#. 1 will weigh 1450#. 1 will weigh 1350#. Actually I might be a little on the light side they are big/ nice cows. I hope it works out. Thanks for the input everyone. :cboy: B&G
 
Our local sale report this week. (Our sale is much smaller than what most of you probably see.) 1897 head this week.
Pairs were $3025-$3450.
