There is a huge disconnect but it looks to me the feeder sales the last couple days are showing a softer undertone. Would’ve loved to sell some $2k 6 weight steers this year to help with all these expenses but Im about 2 weeks late. Not much sleep lately and having quite a time this year calving heifers. When you think you’ve got things figured out you really don’t lol. Ai’d them with a low 80s bw bull and getting 95-100# calves. Calf puller is getting a workout. Calf below is 104# and half grown. Can’t wait for the bull breds to get here and hopefully some relief!
If you don’t mind me asking - what was the heifer bull name you ai’d too? Could the ai semen seller/ bull stud have mixed up canes, racks etc somehow. I’d pull hair samples or blood and send in to angus association for pedigree conformation.
Yours isn’t right and someone at ai company or angus association needs to flag that up and make right somehow.
Big calves coming hard are hard on heifers and their breedback potential! |
Who’ll stop the bleeding
