Sold some, bought some.

Sold our 20 dry cows yesterday and bought 20 pairs out of a dispersal. Our heiferettes topped the sale at 940 lbs and $1.30, older butcher cows brought 98.50.
3 to 6 year old pairs averaged $2400.

It's nice to cash some in, but it sure hurts replacing them this time of year.

We sold older bred cows last fall for up to 2350, add in a winters feeding and these pairs look cheaper.

Are you buying pairs after contracting the calf sale?

Are you buying pairs after contracting the calf sale?

Yes, I sat beside the guy who contracted while doing it too. We laughed that the Hereford coloured calves didn't fit the contract agreement.
Only a couple. The rest will fit.

 

[Stocker Steve]

No Hereford love here either.

Bought four little feeder darlings too.

You are a brave man. & hopefully lucky......

One of the best ways to insure a profit. Contract them before you own them.
Realize that he is talking Canadian dollars. After the conversion the price sounds about right.

Haven't got where we are by wishing we would have................

Have to be lucky to be good and good to be lucky.

Feeders need some groceries badly, should be happier in their new home.

A few more pairs on their way north and west from Kamloops tomorrow. Buyer friend messaged and asked if we still wanted a few more pairs. We asked for a video first! Cows are cows but they have 400+ lb calves on them now. 5 to 8 or 9 year old cows, all from a small dispersal, most will be bred back. They will make us a bit of income. These pairs will be delivered for less than we sold bred cows for last fall.
