About 30 cents a pound more that they would bring around here.

 

[snickers]

was that higher than you got last year or about the same?

 

[jilleroo]

What breed were they?

 

[crimsoncrazy]

It was a little bit higher then what they sold for last year, and they were angus and angus crosses. They were mostly all black i think we had 3 reds and 2 baldies. We held back 15 heifers to keep as replacements. Got some old cows we need to cull.
