That beefmaster pair is way overpriced. I agree at least $1500, if not more.

I hope so... I emailed the guy to see why he thought that bull calf that weighs under 100 lbs is worth 600 bucks lol

Hot weather calving and a lazy cow that doesn't clean a new born well and you have maggots.

:nod:

Exactly! Hot/really warm days, a fresh umbilical etc and the flys are all over it, laying eggs etc and voila-----maggots. Not unusual for the maggots to be in the rectal area either, in cases like that.

 

[skyhightree1]

Crazy I wouldnt give 140 for that thing... I would give them 20 LOL

Not sure what has changed but in the past we have sold bulls and heifers on Craigslist. The first time I listed some heifers I had tons of responses. Put some on there this week and not gotten a single response. I don't think the price is the problem, I always price just slightly above sale barn price, maybe it is were a lot of people have sold out in my area and doing crops.
