cattle auction question?

Quote:
Lots of cattle auctions can also be viewed on the internet and you can even bid and buy them online.
If you're just getting into cattle, buying via the internet is not something I would recommend.

Steers, some heifers and butcher cows and bulls are sold by the pound or hundred weight.

Replacement heifers, brood cows and calves or pairs are generally sold by the head.

The 130.00 would be $130 per hundred weight or $1.30 per pound for each animal in that lot.

RFD, fun to watch. But only WATCH.

I much prefer to play in the local livestock auction. I get to see, and inspect,
whatever it is I'm looking at. Hands on.

Our local newspaper gives the current marker prices of the three auction barns
in the area. This is a very important fact in the game. Comes out in Wednesdays
paper. Sale on Saturday.

I like local.

It can vary regionally. I'd say check your local CL and see how much steers are going for. Holsteins aren't going to get beef prices, which around here is about $3-3.50/lb hanging weight. I've seen older Hereford cows go for $2lb on the hoof. At auction I've seen dairy/beef steers go for anywhere from $1.65-2.25/lb on the hoof.

seriously !! you guys dont get that?..boys have two what?

The obvious answer would be balls, but women don't really have an equivalent to that... we are born with all of our eggs inside us and they are numerous. When you think of sexual parts on males versus females you usually think males junk and females boobs, of which there are two....

I think we all know what men have 2 of but it could just as easily be 2 for girls... I think we are all wondering why its 1 for girls. What is the "equivalent"?

I never think to look at the last post date. I just look up things I want to know rather than start a new thread...
