So what bull you going to breed lot 23 JIT? A Rider 844 on a Venture, hmmmm............................... you can go alot of ways on that one. Major Leroy I'm guessin. Could be cool O0.
I think she will make you a good cow. She would be a cool deal bred to a RA or black one. Good luck.

Do you know what the lot 44A heifer sold for?

 

[justintime]

Do you know what the lot 44A heifer sold for?

44A sold for $1550 to Michigan.    She was a very nice heifer. The combines were rolling all through that country, and that really hurt the size of the crowd. Shortly after the sale started, it rained hard for most of the sale. If the rain had come 8 hours earlier, I expect the sale crowd would have been much bigger, and as a result, the sale would have been stronger as well.

I am looking forward to her Patent heifer calf. She is safe to Patent to calve in Feb and was bred with Heifer sexed semen. This heifer was my pick of the heifers in the sale. As for what I will breed her too next year, I am still thinking about that. Have a few options in mind.

James Angus is from Michigan. He has alot of Waukauru breeding.  Looks like he has alot more.
