[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1850507, member: 25884"] 5 wts here were bringing in the $3.10-3.40 range right along this afternoon. Son took a bull that had to be culled... Young bull had part of the loop of intestines slip down into scrotal sack and laid alongside testicles... when we took him in for BSE with another bull, they said he was not fertile (failed test at like 15%), and it was due to the heat from the intestinal loop keeping the temps too high... and there was basically nothing to do... well, there was a way to operate, take one sack out and stitch the loop back up and he MIGHT be good enough to breed... NOPE... bull prices are good and he weighed 1600, been doing okay eating and all for several months like that since we pulled him... but several cows had come up open and now we know why for sure... they had late calves, so got held over and will go with the next group with the bull in a couple weeks. Too much loss to sell them and try to buy back something else... we can deal with more spring calving cows... so the better option for them. One of those freak things... at least there was salvage value on him... not down or dead.... [/QUOTE]
