***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[CLSranch]

We dropped from 106 adults to 54

Listening to the market last fall, there was a report of the cows sold in/at several select auctions in a 3 month period. It was almost the same number as the previous 3 years combined of the same 3 months.
Replacement heifers will bring a pretty penny this year for anybody who could afford to keep them over the winter.
Good thing I sold a couple of horses last year.

We have held the course after our liquidation. Hay is now running low even though there is some green showing in the pastures. We just took four full blood Angus yearling replacement heifers that have all their cow vaccines and four younger full blood fall weaned keeper heifers to the OKC Stockyards. Prices are really high. These sold as a group of 8 instead of two separate groups by weight and age. Pretty sure these girls went to a feedlot.

We are cell grazing … rotating … hoping to help grasses to reestablish. We are unrolling each bale of hay for feeding…less waste.

In other areas of the farm: Incubator chicks hatched this week. Three broody hens will be given some to raise.

We (really she while I'm In Blthyville) fired up the Incubator last week. I need another broody box like my good one. I should probably start another round soon after those hatch out. I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're not incubating as many as you. I lost a couple of broody hens over the winter, so I need to do at least a couple more hatches this year.

I've made it so far without any hay, if it don't rain I may be selling some replacement heifers I don't want to.

Hello!
We're you able to rehome your rooster? I am in the Yukon area and need a home for two roosters. Any advice will help. Thank you!
