[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1733953, member: 40587"] Haven't bought any since those 12 Fla Scrub and Pineywoods last weekend. We have 83 out of those 120 Corrientees left....sold 36 and the one got shot. We have 4 yearling heifers from the cleanup bull, so that makes 99 total. Might get a few more if they are already calved and open, or will calve this month when I find them for $350 or less. They are starting to creep up in price, especially solid color ones and most especially black one. This is un neccessary if you use homo zygous black and polled Angus/Brangus bulls, though. I guess we have talked about it too much, because I know of several people jumping on that band wagon now. $500-$600 for a cow, I guess, seems cheap to people who have been buying or selling $1500-$2000 beef cows. And some of them have very well-maintained pasture, raise good hay, etc. Kinda defeats the purpose of using these kinda cows. A Corriente cow belly deep in a well-fertilized, World Feeder/Alfalfa pasture won't raise any better calf than those on marginal scrub land. Just makes their manure richer, I guess. However, with the astronomical price of fertilizer here...and the price of fuel, equipment, building supplies, etc, they may intend to NOT maintain these pastures and hayfields like they have in the past. I dunno. I think it is going to be an interesting year...maybe 2 or 3 years, in this industry. [/QUOTE]
