We sold our first load of 3/4 blood Bonsmara calves last week.
The steers weighed 830 lbs and brought $1.41 plus the $60.00 Bonsmara bonus which averages $1,230.30 per steer ( about $1.48 lb with the bonus). There was not any freight or commission since the steers were sold to Bonsmara USA.
The heifers weighed 760 lbs and brought $1.28 plus the $60.00 per head Bonsmara bonus which averages $1,032.80 per heifer (about $1.35 lb with bonus). Again, no freight and no commission.
All in all, we were very pleased with the price and with the Bonsmara program. We will be selling our remaining calves, less replacements to Bonsmara USA, in February. We shall see how the market holds up!!
