How many ,steers or Heffers . 900 lbs or more
All I see are well marbled Ribeyes on the hoof. Delicious!

Richard, what is the daily ration for those chunky critters?
The trucker weighs them at times. This load had some many cows. and a few of a neighbor's cattle we told not to weigh them. I'll guess the heifers at maybe, 1300?
Sam, corn silage, ground bean straw, cracked corn, liquid proteen.
1300 thats a good weight, do you run mostly Black Angus
Yes Norm, we bought a few friends reds.
Son Jacob, not me so much. 'The eye of the master fattens the herd."

Lame bull is pretty much in abundance around here...all of present company excepted.👍🤣
This bull was in a fight, and thrown over a feed bunk,
The heifers brought $174, I don't know what they weighed.

I'll never not be amazed at the strength of a bull.

Forgive my ignorance. Is that per each on the hoof? I have no idea how the stock sales go but seems like you would have more than that in them. Again I have no idea about things such as this.
Yes, live weight.
Headed to the arbys

delish
But isn't that price per CWT?
Yes.

$174 x per hundred weight

So he says they are 1300lb

$174 X 13

$2262.00
I'm no expert by any means, but those are good looking cows.
Those are fat heifers, cow beef is not as good.
