[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1844532, member: 40587"] No doubt, location is a big variable in this, as it is on most discussions on a lot of topics on these threads. Every day of the week, there are 3-5 sales on dvauctions in both Missouri and Kentucky. And there may be more that aren't online, or on this particular website. And there are several states that there are no auctions on there, Doesn't mean there aren't sales in those states....I am just surprised at how few there are online in midwestern states. Never seen one in Colorado or Wyoming or Montana, other than special production sales, and you know there are a lot of cattle in those states, and certainly there are sales there that aren't on a live auction site. If there are no sales close to a person, then not only would it be hard to buy heifers and sales, but also to sell your heifers to get the money to buy replacements. Thee is only one online in Ga every week, on Wednesday, but I know of 90 other regular weekly sales here. Watching the KY and Mo sales right now, and one in Oklahoma and two in South Dakota. As usual the higher price are in MO and the lowest in Ky, and that has NOITHING to do with the quality of the cattle, especially ion KY. If you lives somewhere between these 2 states, you could have sent a load of weaned black heifers to Mo, and went to a kY sale, where you could buy pairs and 3-n-1's for what they sold for in Mo. And there are operations that specialize in raising heifers to sell, open or bred, either private treaty or production sales. [/QUOTE]
