[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1623680, member: 20580"] The bull sale yesterday went well. The in-person crowd was light but a lot of action on the phones and on the internet bidding. We were thrilled that the top selling bull on the sale was sired by a bull we sold the breeder a couple years ago and was bought by another Hereford breeder who we are friends with and run a great program along with a partnership breeder they own some cattle with. 29 Hereford bulls sold for an average of $3315 with the top lot selling for $4600 for 2/3 interest and full possession. Three good Hereford programs partner up for this sale every year at a sale barn in in SW Iowa with 1 breeder in Iowa and the other 2 in Kansas and Wisconsin. All 3 do a lot of data collection including carcass data on the steers they feed out. Dad said the first 2 breeders that greeted him when he went to view the bulls were the 2 other guys that consign to the sale as the breeder we sold the bull to and their first comments to him were how they thought the bulls he brought out of our bull were some of the best bulls he's ever brought to this sale. They all sold well so it was satisfying to see our genetics doing well in other programs. That's probably the most satisfying part of raising cattle is to see a customer take an animal you raise and be successful with it. We have sold bulls and females to both commercial and registered Hereford breeders over the years and the greatest feeling you can get is when some of those sales result in leaving a lasting mark in their program that continues on the genetics with the next generations of breeding.
