New batch

[KAstocker]

Here is some of my calves I bought for this season. They were purchased over the last month. Ended up averaging around 507 lbs, $2.40. Probably half were bulls. All are steers now.

I'm always excited to see how a group turns out!

Very nice, some of them are very well built.

Calves and grass look good.

I can see you are a "man of vision" as Captain Call said. Taking a mix of #1's and 1 1/2's that will all be #1's when ready to go to the feedyard at 800 to 900 lbs. Good job of putting the together.

Thanks, that's the plan. I just try to make sure price I pay matches value and those 1 1/2s often seem below their value. There are certainly some plainer ones that I hope can upgrade with some feed.






Might be a dairy cross here, oops!

Very nice! Calves are so high right now its crazy.

You'll have to let us know how it turns out for ya. I've bought a couple to graze since selling a few cows off due to drought. I'd a liked to buy back cows but I think this is better.

One thing about calves is that it can sometimes pay to feed them through a drought. As long they gain weight, they are appreciating.

That's kinda my thoughts as well. And I wont get attached to em like I do my good cows.
It was hard to sell perfectly fine cows.
Calves bought to grow and re-sell fulfil the intended purpose.

I did buy a couple pairs tho. With the intent to re-sell. They gotta go this fall. Cow and calf!
