Leon County also has a commercial heifer sale with our county fair. Pen on 2; Open. This year the black F1 champion pen brought over $7000. Beautiful heifers, but out of my price range. Every pen averaged over $4000. It's a great way to get some good heifers and it helps the youth. My nephew got $2150/hd for his 4th place pen. (Bred by my Dad)
We're looking for about 4-6 hd to make a couple pens for our 2 girls to show next year. My dad died in Nov., and my mom sold the 'Bremmers' (a rough bunch), so there'll be no more F1's born here. My husband doesn't like my idea of flushing the girls' top Brahman show heifers to a great Hereford bull.
Need to be fall born for a spring show. Anyone out there have some good tiger stripes?
