Sold 2 charolais calves at Livingston Tx Saturday before last. 1 heifer-1bull calf. avg 300# and brought $2.40. Should have kept them a little while longer but wanted them off the mommas.
GB that's still pretty good I will take that $ if you don't want it
That is the reason I want to get a scale soon so I can tell exactly what weight the calves are I don't want anymore surprises.
Thought I had taken a pic while they were penned but I guess not--couldn't find them on my hard drive or on the camera. Wife may have deleted them before we left for our trip.
Yep, I had very little in them and made a little $ on these 2 so I'm not complaining. I left $ on the table tho by not having them heavier and in better condition. Should have cut the bull calf back Feb right after it was born, but just didn't get around to it.
They are looking for 4-5 wts here it seems. I didn't stick around to see who bought them.
I'll have a few more in the fall to sell, and depends if the market holds whether I keep any more heifers or not. I'm about 30% understocked for the grass I have but can't depend on it being the case this time next year
