[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 921588, member: 3162"] There is no real right and wrong in my opinion. If I were in the market and climate some of the others in this forum are, I may do as they do. For me to sell all calves in a lump sum would be akin to putting all my eggs in one basket and not capitalizing on markets and shortages. I sell half steers to a lot of folks. Brangus heifers are going for a premium in my market. You're better off selling them at auction right now because of the shortages. 2 years from now it will be different. I went to a very nice pedigree charolaise bull because brangus bulls are thru the roof. Cheapest brangus bull I found was 3700 and he was junk. Decent ones are over 7k. Buyers were chasing to 4500 for me and couldn't get one. Next year that will be different. But it has me questioning my steering every bull calf, for now. When people get on here with ABSOLUTE declarations, it seems slanted to one small region or a single market mentality. If a calving season works for you, stick with it. [/QUOTE]
