Don't know if guys were gearing up for July 4th weekend already or there was something in the water but cull sale today brought best prices I've seen in a good while. Heavy girls over 1400lbs sold up to $1.12 per pound and lighter girls still in the $.85-$.90 per pound. Bulls went up to $1.29 per pound. I had a Charolais girl at 1555 lbs bring $1.09 and a Hereford bull at 1800lbs bring $1.18. My 20 cows averaged $92.95 per hundred weight.

Still a lot of cows coming to town in Texas. Some rains in the worst drought area has slowed up the cow run at sales. Lone Star Pack @ San Angelo put money on cows this week.

Talked to B this morning. They were firing up 2 pickups with 24 foot trailers to take 2 loads to the sale today. He took half a dozen cull cows to La Grande two weeks ago and averaged $0.975. Took 8 to Vale last week and got $0.98. He said 98 cent cull cows have put him in a real good mood. Last week we hauled some broken mouth cows to our BM pasture. I was figuring what they were worth at today's price. B said don't count your chickens before they hatch. Well he got his checks from those two sales. This morning the chickens were running through the yard.

I had a buddy here recently take down some pairs and got 1250 for the pairs, and he had some open cows and got 1000 for them. I have a couple pairs that were really late; I think I will keep them. If they don't get bred back I will sell them as opens next fall. I am trying to breed within in a 60 day window, and put the bulls on the herd June 2nd this year.
How'd you do? I have some to ship too...cutting back some this year.

I stopped at the sale on Wednesday. Only about 20 minutes worth of calves and yearlings. Top cow while I was there was $1.075. The lowest I saw sell was $0.88 for a thin cow. Average range cows were $0.93- $0.97.

They did ok. The cows I sold as # cattle the week before did as good or better. Just not much of a bred cow market here on plain cattle.
