[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 23497"] Here’s a little something that may brighten the day for some of you Hereford fans. It relates to the range bull sale held last week in connection with the Houston livestock show. This is strictly a commercial range bull sale, nothing like the Houston sale for the kids where the top steer almost always sells for over half a million dollars. And of course none of this means much of anything outside the confines of the particular group of bulls that were consigned, but FWIW: from a brief news clip in the Houston Chronicle and a related website --- 106 bulls of eleven breeds were consigned and were graded by 20 commercial producers from Texas & Louisiana. The overall top grading bull was a 23 month old Texas raised Hereford that weighed 2,160 pounds and sold for $7,000. He must have been a helluva prospect. The second place overall grading bull was also a Hereford, but only sold for $3,200. The top grading Angus came out of Oklahoma and was a 23 month old that sold for $3,000, but a lower scored Angus bull weighing 2,520 brought $4,000. Top grading Charolais was a 30 month old 2,350 pounder and sold for $4,000. Top Brangus sold for $4,000. Arnold Ziffle [/QUOTE]
