Well.....
I've seen you take some d**n poor animals and turn them into decent looking cattle. That's a lot better than some traders I've been around.
Now you are talking! Another way to look at it is you went from a whole lot of work for little to no profit, to little or no work for a whole lot of profit. Every day, there is someone, some where, that is about to lose their house, farm, and/or life's savings due to the cow/calf business, and wanting out. And every day, there is someone with money looking to get in to the cow/calf business. I make a lot of money, helping the one to get out, and the other to get in. Like you did with those you sold yesterday. Did you ever get a chance to talk to the neighbor with those black Corr cows and the brangus looking bull? The ones on the corn field stubble that you said had an electric wire to keep them off of some new wheat? I got a hunch about those. And my hunches are usually about half right 50% of the time!
Not real sure who's they are!
Corriente bred heifers brought $1200?!!
Where is this sale again? At those prices I could afford to carry a trailer load there and make $900 a head! Wonder what they were bred to?
The market for mamas there must be alot better than here with the prices your cows sold for and the prices those corrientes are bringing and I'm not too far east of you. You seen my thread where I bought the thin pairs, that day it would've had to been a real good pair to bring over $1500.
If I had more time on my hands I would gather up some here and take there and re-sell.
Well guys. It was a special sale at Enid. I've NEVER seen em bring that much EVER. I think there was 6 or so of em.

I've never seen calves that big that didn't get split off from the cows to be sold by themselves. Well... maybe not never, but I don't remember if I did see it.They just posted the 3n1 pairs that sold at 3400

That's the deal. They had 1500 dollar calves on em!
I agree....thinking she might be jersey/hereford and some red holstein or guernsey in her... 90% of the jersey holstein crosses are black and white with more "spotting" on the legs as opposed to the normal holstein larger splotches of white...and most are more black over the body than much white... most all brown swiss x holsteins are chocolate dark brown or blackish and usually do not have any white on them....
You check again in a couple hours…..
Think I will!
