[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 598559, member: 2653"] Well I just got back from the auction. I was able to get a pretty consistant group of heifers from the same farmer. All are between 500 to 600 pounds. I'll post pictures later to see if anyone can "guess the cross". They are crossbreds, but they all are really nice stout (wide heifers). I'll be able to breed them this coming spring. The good thing is that of the trailer full that I bought, only one was over $400 at $414. The lowest was actually $311. That's almost highway robbery. I know the farmer had to be unhappy with the results - but around here if you play with anything besdies black, you run the risk of getting burnt. Really cut rate prices. One of the heifers sold for .64 cents per pound. These are not runts or mutts, but stout nice looking heifers. The only thing that was selling for good prices were solid black angus/brangus heifers in the 600 pound range, and really small black steers/heifers. All in all I couldn't be happier. Although the cross I picked is somewhat new for me, I'm looking forward to it. They should perform well with my black bulls. [/QUOTE]
