We're starting to get some of the fall catalogs in and we're working on a trip to go to Sydenstricker and Connealy this fall. Anyone headed out to Vintage or some of the other big sales? We'd love to know which sales you like and which you have tried and haven't been as interested in long term.
The local sales around us (Wilks, Cox, 44, Evans, Express) are always interesting but we haven't bought a bull from them in the last year plus (never bought from Evans yet). Express went from $B crazy with huge milk to a much more moderate, balanced EPD in their herd. You still see some 30-40 milk EPD's but not like you used to. It looks like the folks that chased that hard are using lower milk EPD bulls like HA Cowboy up and others to tamp that down a bit going forward.
