[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1719004, member: 40587"] That makes sense. You can haul in hay and fedd from other parts of the country, but not water! I noticed right before I logged off, that several groups of black and black baldy calves in that 400 to 450 range...steers and heifer, and one group of 7 bull calves.... that were not weaned and not vaccinated (at least the auctioneer never mentioned it) brought the same as the others did, Actually more than the whites and reds did. Today was at a place called Coffey? Yesterday I was watching one in Enis? OK, and prices weren't as good as they were today.; Hell, I saw a 504lb Corriente heifer sell for .95 cents there, though! About $475. I quit bidding at 65 cents. She was solid black, but still! That's about the top dollar I have paid for 2nd and 3rd calf cows heavy bredl. We have a lot of water here, both ground and underground. We have dry years as far as rain, and that effects hay and pasture, but we always have water for them to drink. People here don't irrigate much...dunno why.... but they just about all do in south Ga [/QUOTE]
