Looking for a couple of bred Hefiers.

What breed?

Head to the stockyard

There's a livestock show at the ag center goin on right now. They could probably point you in the right direction.

Now is an expensive time to jump in the game. Theoretically you wanna sell right now.

LINK I don't know if any of these are close to you but it is a start. Go ahead and join the La. Cattlemans arse. And normally in the back of the magazine you get each month it will have adds for reputable dealers.

I went to a sale monday and yesterday. The best deals were actually cow/calf pairs. Pairs were going for the same as a heavy bred cows were ($1100-$1300). If you do not have much experience(many years) I don't reccomend the stockyard. You have about 20 to 30 seconds to check the animal over(feet, eyes, bag, etc.) I buy and sell a bunch and still screw up from time to time. If you jump in now I would definitely buy pairs instead of heavy bred so that my calf crop would peak in september at about 600# and get a return on my investment quicker and I would have dry cows going into the hard winter months. If possible buy directly from the ranch so you have time to look and actually pick out what you want. It may cost a little more but you can see what you are getting without having to make a quick decision. Hope this helps
