[QUOTE="dun, post: 751564, member: 34"] I've paid 1100 for commercial heifers and have been really glad I did. Paid 750 for some and wish I hadn;t. Bought a good old registered cow with a heifer calf at side for 1200, sold the heifer calf the next year for 1500, kept the cow who raised 3 good steers then sold her for 1750 with a bull calf at side. So, I don;t don;t have set value of what I will pay for a cow/heifer until I actaully lay eyes on her, look at her genetics, and evaluate what I expect her to produce. There is a pair in the Red Angus sale at SPringfiled this weekend that I've already looked at and decided she's worth 950-1050 max to me, but the 1050 is dependant on just how high stuff is selling at that particular sale. When we looked at her a couple of weeks ago I said she was worth 900 to me and the wife said 1100 so I came up a bit and she went down a bit. The problem is usually the cows I decide I want asre generally the highest sellers and most in demand from a bunch of other people. May come home with an empty trailer, time will tell [/QUOTE]
