Whenever I send cattle into the saleyards, I always make an educated, conservative guess as to what I might receive.\u00a0 In the past, though I can’t remember specifics, I do remember that the emotion disappointment was always in the mix.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Well, three weeks ago I sold steers, two weeks ago I sold heifers, and yesterday I sold old cows with no teeth (surely old cows are a recipe\u00a0 for disappontment!)<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Have you noticed that the auctioneer usually tries to start the bidding where he expects it will end, then someone will put in a lower offer and the bids will slowly climb back up to where he tried to start?\u00a0 Yesterday with the first pen of cows he tried to start at $1.40, and it shot straight up to $1.46!\u00a0 Anyway, over 55 gummy old girls we averaged $1.413, or $846 a head.\u00a0 Sixteen of them averaged over $915 a head!<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Last week my agent picked up 24 cows, in calf, with good calves at foot (around 200kg) for $1000 a unit, so we’ve bought a calf and teeth for not too much money.<\/em><\/p>\n I was equally pleased and pleasantly surprised with the steers and heifers.\u00a0 Nothing is safe in the paddock – it is all at risk at being turned into cash.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Cheers\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a letter that was forwarded to us from the folks at KLR Marketing, they are teaching Bud\u2019s Marketing methods in Australia.\u00a0 Thought you might enjoy it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Eunice Whenever I send cattle into the saleyards, I always make an educated, conservative guess as to what I might receive.\u00a0 In the past, though I can’t […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-testimonials"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockmanship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockmanship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockmanship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockmanship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockmanship.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stockmanship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1109\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockmanship.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockmanship.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockmanship.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
