When you go to the shows and see those trailers selling stuff that kids buy to put on their show calves you know somebody is making money. My guy owns one of those companys. A big one. The cattle are sold as show cattle and a few pens of bulls are pulled out for Denver. I raised a set of Denver champions a few years ago. I own none of them. The cows are black Limmey crosses. Cattle sell at those prices because people want to buy whatever genetics won the last show. That's why they do the embryo transfer. They get more to market faster. This guy has been doing it his entire life. You don't last if you are making mistakes. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

In reply to: Hap 's message, "If I win I'm going to get DSL installed here so I'll have it for when I get impeached and return. Was supposed to get it yesterday but now they changed it to Sept 30. If those calves are bred to buck calves I wish him luck.I've watched a couple of bucking bull sales on RFDTV and if I remember right, most were surprisingly close to sale barn prices. Now some of those big name proven bulls are anouther story. Once in awhile, they had a cow loaded with genetics that went pretty good." on 20:26:20 09/04/07 Tue

Thanks ZD..... now I understand...... that completely zoomed over my head when I was thinking who might buy cattle at those prices.... but horse show people and cow show people will pay anything to try and win. (NT) -- Varmit, 13:32:53 09/05/07 Wed
