we went and picked out 12 polled hereford heifers monday. paid 875/head not reg that would have been more and we dont mess with papering out calves any way. he is holding them for 3 weeks till the vet comes and gives them there 2nd round of shots hope to get some pics when we get them

Sounds like a fair price for quality stock.

Great price post pic's.

 

[herefordlover]

seen alot of his cows thick back ends and great udders he showed us some first calf heifers with new babys on there side and if they do almost as good as them i will be tickled pink. pictures will come in a few weeks when we get them. i figure at that price if one does not shape up the way we want we can at least break even on her next spring

Won't find them at that price around here this year--not good ones anyway.
Last winter--maybe, but not now.

That is the reason I want to see the pic's. Kill cow's in good shape are bringing better than 900 last two I hauled brought 924 and 968. Heavies and heifer's are even higher. Not saying there isn't a deal out there but not on that many at a time here. Saw three good heifers last weekend bring 1600.

$1600 ea --or $1600 for all three?

You Texas folks need to remember that the Midwest had the dry weather and no feed this year!

I think someone mentioned poor cows being shipped southwest looking for a better price this summer.

We know we have had it for the last four years and still not out.He could have more money shipping them south.

 

[herefordlover]

i know he could have made more money and he knows that. he just prices them a little over what he thinks he would get at the sale barn. i will get pics will be a few weeks. replacement heifers in this area arnt going for big dollars like in some areas not alot of huge cattle guys left. i mean 40 head is avg for most farmers if its that big.

You get them from Gary ? Glad your staying with the herfs.Looking forward to pics

Yea I am sure the hay has alot to do with the price to. If he got them from who I think he did they will be good ones.
