Watched 250-300 pairs come through today from Missouri. That was a bunch of cow's in bad shape.
They should have sent them south a month ago.

How did they sell? Been thinking of going to northern Arkansas looking for thin cows and/or yearlings that need something to eat.
I'm guessing you don't live anywhere near Prosper or Gunter then. Went thru there today and :shock: there was one blade of grass in a 50 mile radius being fought over by 83 grasshoppers.BC":1yvww8lj said:

Cheap they had held on them way to long most were open due to poor BCS.
It would take six months to get 75% of them back in condition.
Poor guy's holding on waiting for that one rain to save them lost their ass.
Lot went ot slaughter from .30 to .50 cent's a pound.
Last year a neighbor bought 2 pot loads of bred cows out of texas. They took to the fescue and regained condition well before they calved. I'll have to talk to him on of these days and see how he is fairing now. Before he brought those cows in he ran about 300 pair of limo cows.Caustic Burno":2bcvt2lo said:

Dun we have Bahia grass and it is 80% water.
Rule here is if you buy a cow make sure come's from the south or east.
You bring one in from north or west and they will dang near starve to death before they get lined out on our grass.
These cow's were already down to a BCS of 3 and 4. I wouldn't try one that low IMO.
These were good cow's that had just fell on hard time's.
Another thing that hurt bunch came in horned, there is not hardly anyone in this country want's a horned cow.

$145 heifers and $155 steers last week in Meridian, TX.
I think I averaged about $720 per head for steers and heifers but mine were a bit heavier than 4 weights.

Isom wasn't harmed we caught him a live trap and have had him at NASA in Houston.
They have been trying to replicate the material his skull is made out of, to no success I might add.
NASA wanted it to put on the bottom of reentry vehicles to keep from having another shuttle type incident
If we could have replicated the material I was going to start the Knucklehead Kanoblin, Pin,Chain,Shaft,and Gear Korporation. We would have part's that would never wear out and I would get rich
Seriously glad you are still kicking.

Just talked to the guy that bought the 2 pot loads of bred cows from tx last year. He staill has grass left but he's about 3 weeks away from having to feed hay at a couple of his farms. Still got the cows and they're raising good calves ofr him.
