Well we were up at crack o dawn loading calves for the sale barn. This will be the first group of my bottle babies that I am taking. Have sold cattle there before, but never the ones I raised myself. Three steers, a nice little black heifer, and one free martin. I may go at noon and watch them sell. My husband was going to help a friend of his load two trailers full to take himself so I didn't go see them unload. July is standing out in the pasture with the donks having a fit cause he's alone. He's going in the freezer. I don't have the pasture to support all of them any longer with this drought and I don't want to put any more money into feeding them. I bought them to sell anyway.
I wanted to let everyone know how much I have learned here and how much I appreciate all the helpful advice. I'm sure that I will start over in the fall with a new batch. Hopefully I will have a better knowledge of what I'm doing. This was basically beginner's luck. I know about 100% more than I did when I started and I learned it all here.
I'll let you know what I got for them, unless it is just too embarrassing. Figured I would sell now before everyone got to culling to heavy. I probably should have sold a couple of weeks ago but my husband had to work two weekends in a row and I don't like to pull the trailer.
Thanks everyone!
