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.

Clyde you getting close to having some calves off of gumdrop?
Feliciana I have watched the angus and brangus breeds pretty much go stale. I have watched my angus wilt in the heat of this summer with plenty of grass. My son raises longhorns and they have thrived so I don't think they are going wrong with the longhorn heifers. I actually have some registered angus in with one of my sons longhorn bulls with my end goal being heifers with 1/4 longhorn.
