[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1170083, member: 20599"] Sold my first cow today at the sale barn. She was pushing 1600# and went for $1.14. I was hoping she was 1700# at a buck twenty. Nice four year old healthy registered Angus. Hated to see her go, but (per my earlier thread) she slipped her second calf in three years. The sale wasn't billed as, but ended up being, mostly dairy culls. Many were really broken down pitiful things. Some were lame in the leg, blown-out udders dragging on the ground. No meat on them. Some had Johnes. I was surprised there wasn't a bigger spread between the decent (no visible major issue) thin dairy culls and my, well, [u]beefier,[/u] cow...Ours was the only true "beefer" I saw go through, other than a couple of old Hereford bulls being sent off to their harem in the sky. They brought a decent price too. Think I did ok, not great. What do you think? One or two big buyers had filled their orders and left by the time she was led out. Thoughts? This is a whole new learning curve! [/QUOTE]
