Yea they are spotted and obvious LH. Didn't even have enough horns to use to rope.
The reason I ask, a family member is getting 2 heifers and 4 bulls for 700 a piece. His plans are to feed the Bulls through the winter and sell.
I told him not to because LH aren't bringing anything at sale but he ignored my advice. I think he may lose money. He'll keep the heifers as starters since he sold out 4 years ago and wants to build a herd again.

The market right now is for a lower weight on calves. 350 is selling the same as 600 pounders. My advice would be sell the bulls now take your loss and with the heifers breed to an Angus or brand our simmental

700 a piece
That's not bad. I got $600/head for some 250 to 300 pound 6 to 8 month old ropers right off the mamma cow about 2 months ago.
No feed, no weaning. Just pulled them off and sold them the same day.
The issue, as someone mentioned earlier is that 250 to 600 pounders bring about the same price because as weights go up, $/lbs. goes down. In my mind, it's not worth the hassle of feeding them out.
I would suggest he castrate all 4 bulls ASAP.
