[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1846484, member: 40587"] I probably should have bought those 2 Jerseys for $60 each, and the black angus for $110 Tuesday.!! But, I was there to try to find [USER=22053]@coachg[/USER] a nurse cow. I didn't bid on a 900 lb brindled Corr with a 350 lb black calf, that sold for $560. In retrospect, I could have told them to weigh the calf, and it probably would have paid for the pair. Didn't bid on a Corr cow 8 months bred to an Angus that sold for $485 either. And they had 2 yearling Corr heifers that probably weighed 500 lbs each, that sold for the un-Godly sum of $550 each. I was [I]not [/I]tempted to bid on them. The man that did buy them, has an arena and holds team roping practices and jackpots. These 2 were just the right size and had the perfect horns for that, so that's why he bid so high. And they were red & white spotted. Solid colored. especially black,. Corrs bring more money for cows to breed to black beef bulls. Only other cow i was interested in was Brahma. But, they weighed her and she wasn't marked preg either, so that was a red flag, She was 1493 lbs and sold for $1.34/lb. If she was a sound brood cow, even open, I figured they would have sold her by the head, because she would have brought $2500 or more. But, I didn't want to have any cows I had to haul to south GA, if I had found Coach a nurse cow that needed hauling west to north Alabama. If my nurse cows weren't 3 hours away in south Ga, I might have bought those 3 bottle calves. They sold after the head cows, horses, pigs, sheep and goats, so I already knew I wasn't gonna get a nurse cow for Coach by then. Those 2 Jerseys, though, they carried into the ring and had to stand them up, then carried them out, So, they may not have survived the trip anyway.
