[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1780610, member: 40587"] They better have horns! They are Corriente heifers and cows. They come out of Chihuahua and they can be crossed over, inspected and released the same day. My friend is a cattle broker from Chihuahua, and he has gotten me cattle before. And for the last 4 or 5 years I send him 2 or 3 Chianina bulls a year that he sells in Venezuela and Brazil. Been getting $2500 each from him for these 900-1000 lb young bulls. Now he wants 9 or 10, He will trade me 100 Corrs at $250 each. it costs him about $44 per cow to get them inspected, documented, etc. So, we are talking trading 100 Corrs at $25k, for 10 Chianina bulls at $25k. I will only have about $15=$18k in the bulls, but now I found out it wil costs me $6k to get them here, plus $1000k to get the bulls there. I can still come out ahead. I'd be trading $18k in bulls plus $7k both ways in shipping. [/QUOTE]
