[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1650345, member: 498"] They had about 100 bred cows at Vale yesterday. The vet there writes a number of months bred on the cows back. They put a paint mark on their back to show the age. Up on the shoulders on a young one and over the tail head for a broken mouth cow. The auctioneer would try to sell by the head but if he didn't get a bid pretty quick he went to the pound price. Any bred 3 months or less were just pounded and the kill buyers bought them. I bought 3 older cows. One by the head and 2 by the pound. I paid $0.49 and 0.52 by the pound for 6 & 7 month bred decent looking older cows. I never saw anything bring 58 cents from either the kill buyers or to go back to the country. [/QUOTE]
