[QUOTE="stocky, post: 201238, member: 1150"] Double K, Thanks for the invite to lunch. They have a pretty good sale barn cafe there. I am sure I will be able to take you up on that one of these days. There are times that you are right about those yellow tag cows. A couple of months ago, I bought 10 nice 4-5 year old, suckled down blacks that were yellow tag for 600 each one week and the next week another bunch just like them for 610. I put them with the bull and hope to have some outstanding selling 4-5 year old black springers in July-August. There are times you can pick up yellow tag singles for slaughter price, but you need to get them down in the 35-40 cent range to offset the risks of them being cull cows, your percentages of good cows are less buying like that, but the margin of profit is much higher on the good ones and if you get them that cheap, they will still weigh out a profit if they are culls. Right now, the slaughter market is too high to get them at that price, though. [/QUOTE]
