Bull sales

[WB]

Went to a local sale yesterday that according to backfat measurements were quit a bit fatter than Connealys. Bulls sold well all went to commercial cattlemen but one. Seems everyone is getting conditioned to buying the fatter bulls as the fatter they were the more they brought. I just continue to shake my head but what the heck do I know. Point is fat sells. Every year I say this trend will end but I am not so sure anymore. Most of the veterinarians in this area are so hungry for work they don't want to offend anyone as to why they have so many open cows that they don't want to say anything about it.

Merit Cattle Company at Radville.

I didn't go to this sale that was in Moose Jaw.
Triple A is Andrews from Moose Jaw.
Windy Hill is Mike MacDonald.
Anderson is Geoff Anderson from Bethune.
I got the catalog and the bulls looked good.

Sure seems to me that everybody and their dog is selling bulls. Which in one way makes since because anybody can AI but half that calf is the momma cow. Joked with our area salebarn owner to just put me down next spring for a bull sale, i will just quit banding bull calves.

Isn't that the truth!!!Some of the bulls going through these sales,should have went directly into the steer pen.

Went to a bull sale a couple weeks ago and the bulls wouldn't have even made good steers!
