[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 135856, member: 2095"] I have certainly seen some sucky cows go through the tail end of SOME registered sales that should have been at a stockyard; but I THOUGHT he was talking about the monthly replacements sales most stockyards run in the fall trying to convince cattlemen who just pocketed a chunk of change off of the heavy fall runs to reinvest it in more cows. When I think of "replacements sale" I think of bred cows and pairs at a special Saturday or Friday night sale at the stockyard. To me it makes a whole lot more sense to recycle the better half of your culls direct to the cow buying public than leave $100-$300 a head on the table. I would have to see the pair before I gave an opinion as to whether or not she should go to a breed association sale; though a decent (if fineboned) 1200 pound cow with a decent pedigree and a flighty 3 m.o. calf wouldn't embarass me greatly even there. The biggest problem most cattlemen have is NOT genetics or grass or stockmanship; but rather failing to market their product effectively to get the biggest possible returns. For this converstation to go much further we are going to have to see a pic. [/QUOTE]
