Notice how the Bull calves sell for around $.10per lb more than the Heifer calves.


I sold the next to the last calf listed above. He weighed 525 and brought $1.04 a pound.

I picked up a nice 3 yo angus cow for $450.00. She was sleeved and judged to be 5 months bred. The cow looks to be farther along than 5 months, I'll bet she will calve in a month or so. She weighed 1055lbs

I noticed there were no steers listed, were all the calves intact or did you just not want to list them seperately?

cfpinz,

Sorry about that.

I was not even looking to see if they were steers or not. I was just looking for black and male or female.
