This last weekend the boys and I were tearing down my old junk double wide so I can start building a new house. I couldn't get away to go to the sale so I tell Franny my friend / cow partner to buy any heifers or cows that would fit what I need. About 4:45 he calls to tell me that he got me 3 heifers and a cow. The boys are there working hard so I don't want to leave so I had Franny haul them home for me. Well yesterday in the mail there is a letter from the sale yard. I knew it would be an invoice from the sale yard telling me how much I owe them. But along with that was a set of registration papers for the cow. This is the first time I have ever owned a registered cow. Plenty of bulls but the first on a cow. She is a red angus and I only recognized one bull in her breeding but she is registered. I am pretty certain she has a purebred calf in her. Who is interested in her bull calf for breeding purposes? I would be willing to let him go for say...... $5,000.
Franny did good. An 8 year old cow that weighed 1,285, is six months bred for $1,350. A good thick cow. She doesn't have the best udder in the world but not terrible. And she is registered!!!!
