Hey Aaron, looks like a pretty good bull you got. Heard your name at the sale, but of course never ran into you. Would have liked to have met you. Met a different couple from ON though, and they were pretty nice people.
We got a Red Angus and a Black Angus. No pictures for now though.
Same here Randi. I was there at about 8 a.m. and pretty well spent the entire time till 12 in the Hereford pen. I was sitting about half way up the middle bleachers to the north side. Didn't know what you looked like, so couldn't look for you. I was the one wandering around in the
Carhartt toque and jacket. I bid on the elite bulls and a few others, but was waiting patiently for this guy to go through...as were a few other people apparently. I only stayed around until the Herefords finished as I was heading over to visit the Oddan family at Maidstone before dark. I know Bill had a few orders from out this way, mostly Red Angus orders. Real friendly folks out that way. What was the name of the couple from Ontario?
Carhartt toque and Jacket eh?? :lol2: :lol2: I think that is what 1/2 of the people there were wearing ;-)
We were sitting right down in front on the chairs. Right on the north end of the row. There were so many people there, that I don't think I even noticed you. Maybe if we had went into the Hereford pen, but we weren't interested in one this year. Ah, well there is always next year, or the year after that...... From what I saw in the ring, the Herefords looked pretty good, but none that I was interested in was good for heifers. We stuck through the whole sale.
Was interesting, the Herefords were down in price from last year, the Red and Black Angus 2 year olds sold fairly well, but the yearlings were awfully cheap. The Simm/Angus bulls were decently priced and the Chars were pretty high priced. So were the bred heifers and cows. They were at least $200 over market price around here. I think Bill was pleased with that.
The couple were Dan and Liz Webster, I believe, my memory for names is terrible. They were from about an hour north of Toronto, don't know exactly where.
