I didn't make it to the sale but I heard they sold right. I am good on bulls right now but sometimes you upgrade or replace when the right deal comes along.
If you went in person you must not be to far up the road from me. What part of VA you in?
He's in the far western tip of VA. Jonesville area.

Well look what the cat dragged in. Good to hear from you Vic. Is this your first recent post or have I missed something? Are you still breeding your Gelbvey's and Balancer's.

Careful Ken, rumor has it using first names could get a fella banned around here. Lol

963 x 4 = 3,850
1,100 x 4 = 4,400
3 weaned calves

Our farm is in Culpeper and Madison Counties. We aren't but 15ish minutes from the Knight's place where the sale was held.

Gotcha, that's some beautiful country up there. I was thru Culpeper on Friday delivering a horse. I am about an hour+ south in Cumberland. I have bought several including my current bull thru Quaker Hill.
First time I've purchased from Quaker Hill. Bulls seem to be enjoying their heifers since turn out a few days ago. We will see about their longevity. One was a little more conditioned than I would have liked but again I thought he was great for the price.
Most of my herd bulls are from Knoll Crest Farm down closer to you. Picked up another bull at their most recent sale and they sold better than I was expecting!

I have had good luck with them but have a small herd. Looks like you still got KC genetics just mildly diluted. They have a great reputation . I have never personally owned one of theirs but have been around a bunch. Hope all your new purchases perform well for you.
Time will tell and thank you!
Butch the elk stood for Elkhart, KS where I lived for years. Currently live in west central OK.I was thinking elkwc might = Elk Mound, Wisconsin

Hey Ken good to hear from you too. No I sold out a couple of years ago. Been retired since 2015. All I do now is hunt, fish, garden, play with the grandkids and chase the better half around the house.
2015 was the right time to cash out. Well done, we'll probably never see those prices again!

I have a Hereford bull, he is on the market for sale.
His calves all have been born unassisted, they have narrow shoulders and hips. I have not lost a single calf of his. Gentleman bull. The most approachable from the entire herd. You could sit on his back when he is chewing his cud. I am asking for $ 3000. He could be registered.
Is it too much?
The difference is know him, I have his calves to show, would I pay for a replacement bull like him $3000, absolutely, except I can not find a bull like him. Would I pay more - probably if I trusted the seller.
In my region the price of a bull is : weight x by current auction price.
