[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1769943, member: 8359"] They each weighed about 1444lbs and were heifers, still?...not cows? Those are great prices...for heavier heifers/cows. Someone wanted to breed them i bet. I sold 3 head- 1 steer calf and 2 heifers this year at the sale barn for $3,300., 650lbs/700lbs/1,100. lbs respectively. I was pleased, especially bringing them in late in the drought. I didn't watch mine go through...check arrived in the mail 3 days later Wow! I was a bit shocked at the sale barn's unloading-dock...i had all this paperwork and identification to register and show vaccinations (thought it would take some time)...but they asked me my name and address (no identification required) all verbal, and then they gave me back a little slip of paper with the numbers of my cattle...took 20 seconds and i was back out on the road wondering what just happened. Eeeks, you mean anyone can rob cattle and take them to the sale barn? I was thinking it was some kind of big registration process with paperwork proof of ownership....nope. Half of my newborn cattle grown past the color change are red angus, think my bull's mother or father was red angus. Do Red Angus fetch a little better price over black angus? [/QUOTE]
