longhorn/angus sale

[SamKirk]

Help!

We are ranchers from Southern Colorado with a really nice Longhorn herd. We have 30 or so 4-6 year old purebred Mama cows but we lost our winter pasture.

The cows are pasture bred to a nice registered Black Angus bull - the babies are typically black and sell really well.

We just don't want to take the girls to the sale barn.

Any ideas out there?

Don't look to me like they are advertizing to me , merely asking if anyone has any ideas!

Do you have a Farm paper locally that you can advertize in? How long do you have before you have to move your cows? Many ranchers recognize the value of a Longhorn mama bred to a mainstream beef breed. Hope you will be able to move them. Here at our local sale barn they have a special brood cow sale on Friday night once a month. I've seen Longhorn cows go through that special sale and bring $800 and $900 each. These cows did not go to the packer, there were farmers lined up filling their trailers with them to take back and breed to their bulls of choice.
