[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1847895, member: 40587"] If you could find any a year old to buy! I was watching a KY sale today. Black heifers averaging 485 brought $3.58. White, yellow, smoky, etc heifers the same size were $2.38- $2.53. Another bunch like them, but that averaqed 755 brought $2.54. More sets of heifers than steers today at this one, but dang! And the KY sales usually are the lowest priced of them all every day. Most commercial cattle producers, if they are gonna buy heifers, would prefer them open. You buy commercial bred heifers at a sale, you dunno what they are bred to. Only time I see bred heifers do well, is at production sales, where you know what they are bred to, have the pedigree, EPD and other info there on the sire, etc. But, you do have a hell of a bull, with all the credentials you could ask for, so you might could sell them bred. How much you think yearling heifers will cost you up there? I just sold 6 mos old, 1/2 Corriente heifers for $850 each. And today in KY, I watched 750 lb black polled heifers sell for $1905. [/QUOTE]
