[QUOTE="Craig, post: 888239, member: 17724"] I have been putting together a small herd of heifers with intentions of having them bred in the spring. I have bought all my stock by private treaty so far. Today I went to a local sale barn to get a bit of a feel for fair market prices. I watched several nice looking cow/calf pairs go through, as well as single cows. Tried to bid on a couple, lost out after taking to long to make up my mind. I really had no intentions of buying today, but the prices seemed hard to beat. Anyway, I have another group of heifers to go look at, but the sale prices make me think I should be buying cows or pairs. The best bang for the buck seems to be the cows or pairs. 1300-1700lb pairs went for $1150-1425. So what should a guy do? Buy more heifers for 1.40 or go to pairs/bred cows to start calving in 2012 and have the heifers for 2013? :help: :bang: [/QUOTE]
