Let us know how they did if you don’t mind. Always nice to see what’s going on around the country.

Less than half. Still own light steers and bigger heifer calves. Preg tested cows today 4.8% open on 630. 2.8% late outside of a 45 day calving period. Few more to do tomorrow and then go help the neighbor do his 240

Calves were weaned Sunday and bedded in good hay with water overnight. Loaded trucks for 5 hour ride to sort and scale early Monday. 28 steer calves were lighter than weight range required. 302 were like peas in a pod. We did not need all the calves to fill loads so 76 of them went to the feedlot we are feeding calves at. Average on calves sold was 537 lbs. if we could weigh closer they would be considerably heavier. Little heifers weighed 426. After an overnight rest at the yards they were loaded on buyer’s trucks for Elkhorn Manitoba. 19 hour trip. Buyer is extremely happy again.
