Price premium for young wf cows

[Stocker Steve]

I am looking at buying some wf cows in a small herd dispersal. About a third are black so others can fight over them, about a third are 2 1/2 year old wf coming with their second calf, and the remainder at 4 to 8 year old wf cows.

I will have to pay more if I don't take all the wf, but it seems like sellers don't get much more for a young cows in the ring. What is a fair premium for a 3 vs. a 6 year old cow?

If you can swing it, buy all the bwf's. The 4 to 8's are in their prime.

Why do you think there should be a premium instead of a discount?
