Bases Loaded

[AngusinTexas]

I was wondering if anyone has heard how the Bases Loaded sale went Tuesday in Denver. Thanks

49 Lots Grossed 987,400, for an average of 20,151. It was kind of a rough night compared with those in the past. Prices seemed to be somewhat deflated, which was strange because it was the first sale all fall with that caliber of cattle, that didn't bring more than last year.

Over inflated rich boy ranching...

20K average? Great googly moogley and that is a down year?.. This is a bull sale right? (I guess I don't pay attention to too many of those sales as that is more dollars and cents than I can afford for any one animal.

It is an invitation sale hosted by Express Ranches, at Coors Field in conjunction with the National Western. There are around 50 lots every year(mostly frozen lots), there were three years that a stud bull was sold(Northern Improvement, Bon View New Design 1407, and BR Midland). We proably had a better turn out this year compared to last.
