I spent the afternoon at the last bull sale of the year locally....Bowles J5 Red Angus of Chinook Mt. had their first local sale alone- having before sold together with Spear J....

The rain last week definitely helped them- and there was quite an interest for their bulls....Bulls looked nice and were quiet dispositioned.....

They sold 38 bulls and averaged over $2300 in my rough figures...40 commercial heifers average $895- with most the registered ones selling for less than that :shock: :???:

Mitch Knaff of Glasgow bought the top bull- which sold 1/2 semen interest/full possesion- a VDAR Chief Joseph 420 son out of a JHE Canyon Hawk 1062 cow for $4000... He also bought the top pen of 20 commercial heifers for $920......

Good for Jim and Brady. Good people. Glad to hear the sale went ok for them. Wish it could have been a bit higher though.

These bulls all sold quite evenly- and I think all went to commercial ranchers....Top bull was $4000 like I said- and the bottom one was $1700- but most were around $2200....A few of the registered heifers went to breeders with the top selling heifer going to Spear J for $1200.....

A couple of the neighbors picked up some nice looking smaller framed bulls that were sons of Buf Crk Lancer F-L297- that should definitely be calving ease deluxes...One (# 1188936) had 62 lb BW and -4.9 EPD, another (#1188928) was 69lb BW and -6.5 EPD and the ultimate (which has to be the lowest BW EPD I've ever saw) was a bull ( # 1188933) that had a 55 lb actual BW, -9.1 EPD, and a 624 WW....He sold for $2200....

Heres a picture of the Buf Crk Lancer- FL297 bull...Its an old one and not as good as the newer one in Bowles catalog, since he growed up, which caught my eye right away- and shows a deep, meaty bull....

This says he is a 5.1 frame bull- but I think a couple of those sons that sold were 4's- altho its tough to tell sitting in the stands....

If he was the right color I might be interested :wink: :p :lol:
