PAIRS SALE

[south kentucky cattleman]

I went to a cow calf sale yesterday in ky ....wathced alot of crossbred pairs go throguh from $500 -650 ...charolais and my herefords went anywhere from $650 -$800 but what stole the show was the angus cow/calf pairs $1000-1200 a pair kind of made me sick

those prices are horrible!

that sucks, apparently pairs are only bringing 500-850 here lately. these are just pairs at the salebarn. not like at a breeder cattle sale or anything. glad i sold mine when i did!

Keep in mind too, though, that they usually only have a handful of pairs and most weeks they are just cull pairs.

What sale were you at? I'm surprised that the herfs did that much. To give us a better picture - how old were the cows, what shape were they in, what size/sex was the calf? A lot of variables to consider beyond just hide color.
