Now, I'm not big on black cows but if you decide you can't stand that J2 heifer put her on a truck headed to Oregon.
I actually bid on some SimAngus fall bred replacement heifers when our local county fair hosted the Siskiyou Golden Fair's livestock show and sale due to fires down in Northern California.
Last year-
Average sale price $3200
High Seller $4500
I figured I was going to come home with at least one.
Sale order for the ones we bid on:
Grand CH (Registered)- $10k (I stopped at $5k)
Res Grand CH (Commerical)- $11k (I didn't even get a bid in it went so quick)
Res CH Commercial - $6k (I stopped bidding as soon as I saw who I was bidding against, sometimes its best to let a friend get a good one)
Moderate dog gentle SimAngus last in the sale - $4k (I stopped at $3k)
I bid higher than I normally would but it was a 4-H auction and a good cause. Somehow I ended up taking home the Grand CH pen of meat rabbits for $500
