Bought some ears today!
They actually had 3. A very pretty open brindle that called a yearling. And this cows calf. Looked almost identical to her.
The open brindle interested me, but she brought MORE than I gave for this 6 month bred 4 year old.
Funny story and then I'll get on with pictures. Cuz we ALL like pictures....
As was mentioned in my "experimental shorthorn" thread, I watched these all thru the chute as I was definitely interested. When the brindle came up open I was a bit sad. But to be fair, she's probly just now of breeding age anyway. Brahma mature a bit later anyway. There was a couple other interested parties as they were doing the same thing I was, watching intently for these to be checked out. Good feet, good bag, OK! Anyway, we all got our bearing and went n sat down, after talking to the guy that was selling them. They were bred to a full brahma bull and we got to see pictures! I told the guy next to me, neighbor wants that bred one and he told he would go as high as $2000
He seems a bit disappointed. (I like to mess with folks a bit, in case ya'll didn't know)
Watched the brindle sell. Like I said she sold pretty high for what she was. The guy I told the story to bought her. I knew he would.
This cows daughter sold, he bought her. She was a February calf and was missing the switch of her tail.
They sold some others before the bred one made it in. She comes in the ring, calm as can be! Just beautiful!
This whole time I been thinking, where they gonna start her? Eared cattle don't sell well here. Even after seeing the last 2 bring good money. They started at 500.
I YELLED.... YEP!!!
The guy next to me must've been sleeping, because i swear he jumped 3 feet outta his seat! (I NEVER yell yep at a sale) the whole barn jumped I think. No one ever whoops or hollars there.
Well that did it..... next bid was 700, they weren't going to go 10 bucks a time from 500!
I bought her for less than 8
Now yall know where this is going, if she has a bull calf right?
ON TO THE PICTURES!
