| Our local auction sold a cull Blonde bull for 75c/lb yesterday - they said it was the dearest cull bull they have sold in ten years. Now if only the other cattle prices would rise to the same extent.

| In1968 we sold the first Charolais bull ever through the local yards-I think he brought 231/2/lb which supposedly was the most ever back then-they ground him up and fed him at the rodeo lol.

| I've got one big ole bull I should take to auction, I'd guess he weighs about 2200 lbs. I've used this one for too long now, and if I got 70 cents for him it would go a long way towards his replacement.

That is good to see peacecountry. Hopefully the spring optimism translates into fall returns this year.

The bull did go to a packer, the top end bulls seem to be getting up there in price - another made over 70 cents in Ponoka yesterday.
