[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 240080, member: 3937"] When a sale barn has a special stock cow sale, there will be lots of consigners. Maybe a couple of whole herd dispersals, lots of cows and lots of buyers you will get top $ for good cows, as most buyers are prepared to truck a long way. Where the grass and feed is plentiful bred stock cows are as scarce as hens teeth. Call the salebarn tell them what you would like to do. If its got good management they will look at your cows tell you what to expect, $ will be right on they know their business. I had a whole herd dispersal in 1985. The owner of the salebarn looked at the cows, said he would get me 750. ea. I asked him how he could be sure, as 750 was about 100$ above average cow prices for those days. He said he had buyers who wanted the type of cows I had, and besides he was in the market for stock cows himself and would buy the whole works for 750. When the cows came in the ring, from one one to four at a time, starting price was 750. Some sold for less but most sold around the 800$ range 8) [/QUOTE]
