[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1613027, member: 9933"] In this area there are very few buyers looking to add bred cows to their herd in the fall. Those that do, will usually buy a larger set of similar cows from a dispersal, and there are plenty of those this year. The sale barns usually have order buyers in the stands and not much of anyone else. I sold 11 registered Angus cows this fall at the sale barn and most of them were bred. They had some age, but were still pretty good cows, so I decided to see what would happen if I sold them as bred. They ended up bringing about the same or less than the opens but I had to pay a slightly higher commission on the sale and also a few dollars to have the pregnancy confirmed. These cows would have been due in February or March so were about 4-5 months bred. They were mostly in pretty good flesh, so I expect they went directly to the packer meaning the calf was a liability. [/QUOTE]
