[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1820060, member: 9933"] This doesn't surprise me. My guess is someone offered him a price closer to their value, and they are sold. It is probably awkward to contact you now. I just sold our spring born calves. Steers brought an average of $1,438 each and heifers $1,273. Be careful if you buy at a sale barn. The buyers there know value, so if you see one go for less, there is probably a real good reason. Although not always true, most cows that end up at the sale barn are someone elses culls. There are many reasons to cull and most of those are reasons you won't want her either. Personally, I think this is a really bad time to be a beginner in the cattle business. Prices are higher than I have ever seen them, which is good if you're selling, but anything you buy now may very well be worth substantially less a few years from now. People who got into the business in 2014 during the last peak in the cattle cycle, mostly lost money. I keep looking at your member name. BS cattle. I wonder if that is suppose to be a hint at your legitimacy. 😉 [/QUOTE]
