What would you expect to pay for a cow like this in your area? 4 years old, early bred to Gelbvieh bull, great udder, moderate frame, very thick, 1,350 lbs and very docile. No health problems and good feet and legs. I'm thinking about selling her private treaty within the next couple of weeks. What would you expect this cow to bring in your area of the country?

She would sell here with the calf for $1650 to 1800. 3rd trimester she would bring 1350 to 1500
 
I was thinking about asking 1400. She would bring 1200 as a slaughters at the sale barn in Unionville.
 
Cows like that were selling for $1000 to $1200 at auction in Lexington on Monday and Tuesday. Probably worth a little more private treaty. $1400 is probably reasonable to ask.
 
When is she due?[/quote]
She is just 1 month bred 3way.[/quote]

Why did she rebreed that late?[/quote]

She lost her calf back in January. We think it got stepped on at the hayring shortly after being born.
 
I got 48 very much like her a couple of months ago for $1225 each (all 3rd trimester) and I understand the guy sold the other dozen or so we gate cut off for $1500. The $1400-1600 seems to be a good going average right now.
