From some of the prices everyone is stating I may have cut myself short. I did better than they best salebarn for that sized weaned calf. Most people around here are after a bargain and papers are not worth much to them. My opinion was that 2 of these were pretty nice, really hated to see one go but can only keep so many. I made more than selling at the salebarn so I am happy but it looks like I might have left some money on the table, if I had the hay and space I could have done better holding them to breeding age.
On another note for those that sell off the farm. Do you accept checks? I have never felt comfortable taking checks from someone I don't know and ask for cash. I get some strange responses.
