Took Heifer to sale, what to guess what price I will get?

[chester1977]

I took a 25 month old Black baldie to the sale this morning (she will sell tonight) that didn't get pregnant.

I am guessing between 1000 and 1100 lbs.

Any guesses on what she will bring tongight in Northern VA? I really have no idea.

I am a rookie with all of this.

Good price. Sounds like she may have gone home with someone.
