[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1434788, member: 22295"] Travis haven't checked with you in a while. Was you able to sell all of your bulls this year. I ask only because most polled breeders around here have many if not most of their bulls left. Those who were able to sell out for the last 3 years have most left. Most horned breeders have only a few if any left. The exception on the polled side is one polled breeder in that area with a very good reputation. You walk into his group of 25-30 bulls and there will only be 3-4 of what would be called lower end. The rest you can gate cut and have a very good bull. I checked 3 weeks after they started selling and they had 2 bulls left. One was high headed and the other a little flighty acting also or I feel they would of been gone. They are now. Otherwise all polled breeders I've talked to have bulls left. I've had several beg me to come and take a look but I know what they have it for various reasons they won't work for me. And one breeder in particular has his bulls left but all of his bulls good enough for a good commercial herd are priced at 5. Hope you have been able to sell all of yours. There are many breeders of other breeds with bulls in their pens still so not just a polled issue. Again it just reinforces the fact that a good animal will always sell even in a down or glutted market. At least 3--40% of the bulls I see should of been castrated. But for the past 3 years they were able to sell them so some breeders I feel starting keeping bulls they were cutting 3 years ago. [/QUOTE]
