Subject: Meanwhile, back at Puffy Ranch

N FLA

We've made a few mistakes. Not really losers, just cows we sold at the wrong time. Been selling just a few Puffy cows. A few cleared $500. Maybe $300 on the average. These calves will be home runs as the breds were bought at slaughter price and the pairs ran from $500-990.

We tied up a showplace this week, 60 acres of grass, pens, squeeze chute, the whole shebang. Preg check again in 2 weeks. All bred cows and pairs will go to the Ranch. Open cows will stay back at the Feedlot (LOL). They'll be on the grill for Memorial and Independence day. Rumor has it that's the high in the cull market.

We've talked about should I be selling the 3 and 4 month bred cows that I bought open. Maybe I should be. But my gut says stick with them if they are easy keepers and have teeth. There's plenty of time to take risk as I trade the open cows for poor bred cows. Plus I have grass whether I have cows on it or not.

I like to put my eyes on these cows once a week and that's about all the mineral feeder holds anyway. I need another feeder, and they'd raise themselves like in Markwrights country.

Everything in pics will stick around as pairs or bred.
