November 5, 2020 Cattle Preview:

 

Lot 1

A big, stout, good structured barn find. We don’t gather many cattle but when I get the opportunity to buy a good calf that is different than what we have in house and has so much upside I will buy them. This baldie is mature and reads to be very easy feeding. He is huge footed, awesome structured, great in his middle body shape, and is massive hipped. He can be ready early, even for a fair in July! His sire is a really cool yellow bull from Kroupa in South Dakota that died before any promotion or much semen was collected. Surgically dehorned before the sale.

 

Lot 5

This is a good calf that checks a lot of boxes - stout, square, sound, and functional with a good look. He is sound structured, good footed, and stout with nice hair. He will be a good project for an August or September fair. Will be surgically dehorned before the sale.

 

Lot 9

A really solid baldie steer that has a lot of upside. I guess that's what "breeding for the look" will get you. I always like baldie cattle and this is a good one. Very proportionate, good in his center body, sound, and functional at the ground and in his lower joints.

 

Lot 7

We had good luck selling white, red eared shorthorn cattle the year. This is the youngest of the white ones so he's on the second sale. Really high quality shorthorn marked steer that will classify anywhere. He is square, sound, and good haired. He is a first year family friendly calf. Will be surgically dehorned before the sale.

 

Lot 2

I have received comments in past years that I don't put big mature cattle on this second sale, as a result I have 3 big stout heavy steers as lots 1, 2, 3 on this sale. A Here I Am out of my 123 cow that checks a lot of boxes, four flush mates averaged $3750 on our first sale. This one is probably the best haired of the litter, great big hipped, and good structured. These cattle are really stout, and as time goes on this one will follow that path. Will be an easy one to feed for July or August! Will be surgically dehorned before the sale.

 

Lot 4

My observation in the livestock world is that the really good ones are either hard to keep alive or hard to manage. This red bugger is really good! "But he's a tatted up mumble rapper." Big butt, big rib, big paws, big haired and an awesome front, straight out of the top of a perfect shoulder. This cat is cool, but he needs an experienced home.
