[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 674768, member: 7645"] You are right I probably couldn't get $.85 for them at a stockyard HERE; but again he is selling them as breeding stock NOT market bulls/steers........of course a 1200 yearling bull that is run through the yard for some reason is going in with the bologna bulls and won't bring $.85 a lb either so I don't know what the point is. I really don't know what his intended market is. IF I were buying range raised bulls I would want them to be at least 18 months old and ready to work. IF I were buying yearling bulls I would want them half grown out (at least a 1000 lbs) so somebody else has their money tied up in growing them. If I am going to have to spend the time and the money to grow out bulls, I can buy intact calves fresh off the cow for $700-800 all over Alabama (I assume Texas is much the same) and six months from now today's 205 day old calf can easily be caught up with these bulls (whether I push them hard or push them soft).
