Two weeks ago I went to a big bred cow sale in La Grande. 300 cows and I only got 2. Last week a bred cow sale at Vale. About 260 bred cows. I got one. I went to Vale today. Advertised as just a normal sale. First thing I went to the vet chute to see if they had any cows to preg check. There was 15 cows so I thought I would get a couple. So I went up on the cat walk to see what else was there. Oh my gosh there was over 100 cows that had already been checked. I ended up getting 20 cows on my number and 22 younger cows for B. Both of us got our cows under budget. There was basically 2 kill buyers, the sale yard manager, one other guy, and me bidding. These were all range cows. Not fat azz pasture cows. Mine averaged weighing 1,114 and I paid $838. They are all 7 or 7+ months bred. Broken mouth of 9-10 years old. B's were all solid mouth 7 or 7+ month bred and weighing about 1,160. I got them bought for him for $1,085. It was a good day to go to the sale.
