Just sold my calf crop at Cleburne auction yesterday in No Cen TX. Sold 5 bull calves and 5 heifer calves. Wanted to hold heifers, but last years bad drought and high hay prices turned off my plans. The table below tells the story. Cows are full blood Angus, Bull was Black Brangus (1900 lbs in thin condition, 14 yrs old). Notice the birth dates, whole crop was between 11/29 and 12/23, with exception of one on Jan 7th. Summary Analysis of Cow/Calf Performance Calves Sold On July 7, 2012

Calves were loaded up here and shipped 40 miles on Friday, for auction on Sat, so do doubt some shrinkage. Were taken directly off cows, no creep, no implants. Question for you experts. Is the difference between Bulls and Heifers always this much (135 lbs)? How much lighter do you think the bulls would have been if I had banded them as planned? Heifers brought $130, 132, 136. Bulls brought 125, 127, 135 per hundred. Comments please, and thanks. Tom

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
