I don't understand auctioneers, other than the fact that most of them think they are smart enough to set the market. Especially at bred cattle sales, they waste a lot of hot air trying start every bunch at $3-500/head higher than they will sell for. I think if they would just start them low...

So FH, did you sell your cows yet?

It always happens moreso when the market gets sticky. However, a good sale barn will control the cutoffs to an extent.

Grind your hay and wheat straw together and self-feed it. They'll do great.

I'll bet you could hire Sparky to make you one!

Guess I'll ask to get paid in Canadian dollars when I sell then!! :wink:

That looks pretty similar to here. Good 550 weight steers are lucky to get $1.05 and heifers are about 12 cents back.

I band at birth and have had no problems. I've done it within minutes sometimes, but it's usually easier after they're dried off. I've never really paid attention to whether the band is pulled down close to the testicles or not, as long as I had them both captured. I've never seen directions...

I use the Allflex guns and like them pretty well. I've always thought them to be pretty accurate. The 25cc gun works especially well for small doses. I do appreciate the tip about checking the accuracy, though. What are detectable needles?

You probably won't have a problem but a test is pretty cheap and quick for peace of mind.

That's just pretty egotistical to think you can make buyers go out of their way like that.

As a bull buyer, if you won't take my check, I won't buy your bull.

That has to be a tough decision, especially since it doesn't sound like your pair market is real hot up there. Hope you find someone that can pay what they're worth.

no yes

Do you honestly believe consumers are going to willingly pay more if they have a choice between what they perceive as comparable products?

Well, you either didn't do very well and talking turkey or you got outsmarted by a creature with a brain smaller than a walnut!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Just razzin' you, I hope you know.

Sounds like gathering and moving cows is quite a time-consuming project out there. We do enjoy the picture tours! Did you ever get a turkey??

So are those hamburgers guaranteed to make you sleepy?? :-) :-)

How do you plan to sell your heifers in the fall? Sale barn or private treaty?
