[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1613905, member: 38479"] They are not a gift, thats for sure. we are in drought, so they openly told me they are not as big as usual and want them off the mothers....so at least, if nothing else, i know the history. The drought means lots are selling down, but prices have held, but also at yards they often are in mobs of 5, 10, 20 etc, and you do not get time to think, nor any idea of history, I dare say these would both be passed off as Hereford at the barn.... I am told they are approx 200 to 230lb, they have not weighed them, but I have pretty good idea of a 100kg animal. Sale barn is about a buck a pound or more for steer possibly. They are being offered at a reasonable price. Bull would be sold later as steer at 400to 500lb, I am hand feeding anyway, so could re evaluate every 3 months. Later I will prob seek pure polled Hereford from some breeders, I have a mix of breeds, so if nothing else I will learn and be able to compare performance betwwen breeds and crosses, I am doing a lot of this too learn. :D [/QUOTE]
