[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1738326, member: 498"] There is a number of feedlots within an hour's drive of that sale. A couple of them are fairly big lots. Those steers would have been sold earlier except back them they were bulls. We were going to brand and work this last bunch of claves. B was out of town and his son left in charge. The night before the branding the cows made the great escape. All the gates were open up into thousands of acres of range. Instead of saddling up, grabbing the dogs, and taking off at a long trot up the hills, the son said well they got out nothing we can do. We wouldn't have caught 100% of them but we would have got more than 80%. So they came out of the hills in the fall as bulls. So rather than take a beating selling as bulls they were cut and fed for a couple months. I don't know what his feeding cost were but I am sure it worked out over the price he would have got selling bulls. [/QUOTE]
