I sold a heifer yesterday at Flemingsburg Stockyard. 11 months old. Black with white face. Nice looking heifer. Sold as slaughter. 850 pounds. Net $1,225.00. I think you did well for a PB Gelbvieh.
Did I make a bad buy?

My vet was out yesterday. Said he sold a fall heifer at 580 pounds for $1200. That is feeder class at the stockyard.

Tom you never told us what she cost.

I think in the 13-1400 range would be fair on both sides, she's nice, but I can't see anything exceptional about her either, though the pictures aren't really flattering either. I'm going to assume she's open and just ready for breeding now... If I paid more, I'd most certainly want a guarantee she's a breeder, otherwise she's just butcher beef with a pedigree.

She cost less than what I sold feeder for, so I think she is worth a chance.You pretty much guessed it before. Put the bull on her next month. There are things I see wrong, pics were not too good. Her temperment is a big plus. Breeder uses some good genectics in fis herd, one that slipped thru the crack and did not get registered. She ia already vaccinated to the same program we use.TexasBred":pdurzg0m said:

For less than a feeder I'd say 'why the heck not' as well... Hope she turns out good for you!
