Having never sold a Holstein before, and with a new BSE scare thrown in the mix, just for fun let's see who can most accurately predict the price that this intact calf will bring at the Tulsa Stockyards. Weight in the 400# range, four and one half months old-almost. Looks bony and poor to me, as about all Holsteins do, but the man at the yards thought I had been feeding him a lot to make him look good. (Nothing but milk and grass unless you count a tiny taste of a treat when I call them up to check on them on occasion)
He said at that age they call them steers anyway, but it's going to be pretty obvious that he's intact. I'm just hoping for anything over a dollar a pound. Hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised.
