Just took the oldest daughter and yougest son to the stockyard. I met a man who was selling his entire herd, bulls and all, because of the drought. Ofcourse, I don't have the money to buy any now, but I sure wish I did. Here's some of what was sold in the 2 hours before we left:
1. hereford cows, 3 in 1's with tigerstripe/braford calves on their side all of them were 3 to 6 years old. Average price was $977
2. Brangus cows, with black calves on their side, 4 to 5 years old. Average price $844 for the pairs
3. Braford heifer calves weighing 200 to 300 pounds; average price $216
4. brangus heifers weighing 240 to 350 pounds; average price $263.
I would have bought some of the hereford 3 n 1's and Brangus pairs if I had the money. Some of their calves would bring over half of the purchase price in just a couple of months.
I went out scoping the prices before I bring in my calves.
