Slaughter cows up to 1.70 and slaughter bulls uo to 1.94 yesterday. Even the scrub cows are high. Don't miss this opportunity to cull.
I heard on the radio WTX A&M or some one is building a facility and doing a whole study on feeding dairy cross beef cattle. It has become such a thing big feedlots and who ever else are donating to them for the program so they can use the info.My first calf heifer is making so much milk I'm having to pour it out on the ground. I'd like to buy another Jersey heifer calf or two to raise but I can't imagine what they cost. Dairy farms have gone to Beef on Dairy so they can get a good price selling them for meat. Only their best cows are bred to Holstein and Jersey sex selected semen and those calves aren't for sale. And no I'm not getting pigs. I hate pigs.
Have you considered selling them privately? People will pay top dollar for non-poked. Just got to advertise them in the right place.I have been thinking to take it back a bit. Would like to cut maybe a third or maybe even half. A dozen is enough. We usually sell beef to locals and my wife is against selling at the local barns. Being natural and no vax, they would be open to everything at the barn..... and they bring half the price in small sales. Have to travel to better barns an hour away. Will shoot for next Monday to drop a couple off in Dixon, TN.

What class animal are you cutting loose?
I hate taking anything to the sale barn too. It's just too convenient. Lol
