I have not bought too many cattle at the auction. Stayed away until the prices went so low and I got a few years under my belt. Was there today looking for some heifers. Bid on a good looking black baldie. 600 pounds. Old guy, only does cow calf operation for a living I had been talking with before the sale looks at me after the animal left and said what are you gonna do with HIM? Put him in the freezer? This guy being in the business so long had me rather second guessing my decision. Heck they were bringing them through so fast today only giving us 10-15 seconds to look before they brought the next. Rather embarassed and not wanting to argue I said oh yes he is heading for the freezer. Told my self I was darn sure it was either a great heifer or a steer that had EVERYTHING cut off and didnt lift the tail. But I saw an udder. If it was a steer I was just gonna drop him off at the auction that runs 2 days later 2 towns over. Bought one more heifer and walked out. Went to check and it was a heifer. Talk about someone really making me second guess myself. Small town, small community, I will just let it go. Sometimes wish the auction gave you more time to look. Even getting there early at that location you cant see in every pen to look at all the animals. And they dont really seperate them too well. Bring them in all mixed up. You cant always go by what people say. I got what I was looking for today. Balck baldie heifer and a tiger stripe heifer. $1200 for both together. Not too cheap. I only got $.68 for a 2 year old 1000 pound black brangus cow
cow cull last weekend. Took a beating on that one.
