Nope, I'm all sold out for the time being, until last week I had sold some every week for a couple months. Now I'm just picking up all the odd heavy bred cows that most people don't want. So far what I've put together the last 3 weeks is a mix of pairs and 3rd period cows and I've bought them at a average of 1050$, when I'm done and have all I'm gonna buy I'm hoping to not be over a 1200$ average. That way in less than a year all the cows I am buying will give me a calf to sell for atleast what I paid for each cow.Stocker Steve":1apssj8m said:denvermartinfarms":1apssj8m said:Highest calves I've ever seen today.

I'm buying cows 850lbs to 1250lbs that other people don't want. No BM cows, but alot of 1/2 or 3/4 eared cows, 1/3 and 1/2 longhorn cows. Good Herefords don't take a bad hit here but still there cheaper than others and Charolais x cows can sometimes be bought cheaper. What I'm not buying is any 1400lb fancy black cows.Stocker Steve":gln6m5qc said:denvermartinfarms":gln6m5qc said:picking up all the odd heavy bred cows that most people don't want.

Pairs are $2,000 and up here.
How do you buy cows for $1050 when kill price is close to $1/lb?

Another thing I can buy is dairy cross cows and breed them back to a good bull.Stocker Steve":4i23m5x6 said:denvermartinfarms":4i23m5x6 said:but a lot of 1/2 or 3/4 eared cows,
Only "eared cows" here are the ones with frozen off stubs, but we also have a discount on herford or white cows.
You do better than me, I go to atleast 3 sales a week and still pull a empty trailer alot.[/quote]denvermartinfarms":3suaex6h said:Im never in a hurry and I go to at least one sale every week so I will not be without for very long.
