That sounds like a fair price to me even if they are from a commercial herd and open. And if they are breed, that's even better.
I just sold open first time heifers with calf by their side for $1,100.

So, exactly which kitty that I let out of the bag ruffled your feathers? :???:

And I have seen 10 month old heifers drop a perfectly fine calf.
The part where you say beef heifers don't come into heat before 12-15 months is way wrong. The fact is 5%-10% of beef heifers left in pasture with a bull to 6 or 7 months of age will be bred and will not abort and will be a big problem come calving time. Also the part where you say a commercial cattleman won't buy a $3000 bull when he can get the same bull for $500? Please explain how, where, and why that works. The other parts of your post are just unreadable nonsense.SirLoin2":qux136j3 said:mnmtranching

I had 3 abort this year, and I know by their tag # they were the last few late comers that were weaned and didn't weigh 700 lbs when they aborted.. So they couldn't have been much over 8 months, if they were 8 at all.
The aborted fetus looked like a big squirrel with no hair.
i think the problem he had with your post was right there at the first, you know when you started too speak.. and near the end when you stoppedSirLoin2":3bveqh2h said:mnmtranching

Yes there is because that's what he explicitly asked for.CattleHand":11jsq8qv said:no reason to dissect everything he said.
SirLoin2":29bhh787 said:As for the bulls BW, if we are talking about buying from a commercial operation they most likely don't have a BW to give you ,as many raise their own bulls from their own heard or they bought breeder's cull bulls at weaning or the heifer was breed by a half brother or cousin from in the heard because roundup and castration was done late.
