Thanks everyone! We are very happy with the day we had yesterday. Sales have been very tough in this area because of drought. We hear a lot of "if it snows or rains I'll keep my cows and buy bulls in the late spring, early summer."
Lot 1 (who's picture RR posted earlier in this message) sold to Genex. We are honored and humbled that they would even look at our operation for a bull.
We averaged $2651 on 78 head, with two no sales. Our bred heifes sold very well, and the heifer calves did not sell nearly as well as we thought they might, because we mostly had calls on females.
RR summed it up pretty well when he told nr "nr you should go to a good purebred sale some day. It's great fun, excitement, misery, etc. all wrapped into one event." You work all year for one day, and it's all over in about 2 hours!!!
Again thanks so much for all of your thoughts and prayers (I know of several who said they were praying, thanks so much.)
Now, for the fun part, calving and making breeding decisions. We have two calves on the ground--makes it all worth it to say the least.
It sure was foggy yesterday, and it sure is foggy today. I hope the old adage about fog now makes rain later holds true. We will gladly accept any moisture Ma Nature sends our way.
Cheers---
