Chuckie,
I would have paid more, and in fact did the next week on some grey heifers. When I am the last one with my hand in the air at an auction, I usually don't run the bid on mysself, lol.
Interesting point is people talk about "marketing their cattle." Usually they are talking about getting a couple of buyers to bid. On these kind, I feel that they would be better to own them through and sell them to Tyson. Reason is that this particular flavor isn't "in style" in our area. I do know several guys that have found markets in the Mid west and ship these kind. However, most would be better of just to feed them and get paid premiums,
