[QUOTE="Dana Kopp, post: 56909, member: 873"] Yeah, my folks went over to the Sitz sale. They said the animals looked good and prices were pretty good, it depends on the bloodlines of course. As with Stevenson-Basin, the name makes a huge difference. I know when we went to the Paws-Up dispersion sale there weren't the people there that I expected and some of the cows prices were commercial level but for others they went through the roof!! I can't imagine paying mega mega bucks for a cow - and then not keeping her in a padded stall!!! Especially as heavy (well fed) as some were they'd have to be in my best river bottom pasture so they didn't look like I had starved them! My first registered Angus came from the Bear Creek Angus Ranch which dispersed a number of years ago, I think. We bought her as a weanling and she grew up to be a HUGE cow (2000+lbs in her prime), she was born in Feb of one of the coldest years on record and her ears and tail both were frozen short and she was really sick as a baby. I showed her in 4-H for years and even won the cow/calf production award my last year. I know she wouldn't have done well in arid country but she didn't get thin when she was on any of our mountain pasture and had to "work" for food. Our herd now averages 1000-1200lbs, with a few larger old girls, I sure do miss seeing my big old Ruby out in the pasture...though this herd makes us a little more money since they don't eat quite as much!
