[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1776395, member: 24816"] Back couple months or so ago while at the stockyards, saw a couple longhorn type heifer calves weighing around 250 brought $1.00. Don’t know what the story was but I don’t think there’s any money in that exact venture. Crosses will sell some better, I bought a longhorn cross heifer and paid for her with her first calf out of an Angus bull. He did get docked some, and was lighter weight than other calves his age. It’s easy to identify that kind of breeding, and buyers are good at what they do. I believe it’s leaving some money on the table, due to dock and lighter weight calves. Also at another stockyards about that same time, saw some large groups of big steers sell. A very mixed group of around 200 head 800 lbs steers. Very few black calves, mainly white Charolais Herefords, various reds, painted beefmasters, white backed longhorn crosses. As the seller said every breed was represented. They brought around 15 cents under what the other groups of black or black and Charx were brining. The only reason they didn’t get docked more was there was a large group. I imagine they were bought cheaply one or two at a time and bunch up. [/QUOTE]
