Results & Comments by Morris Halliburton
First, I want to thank everyone for helping to make the sale such a success; for us, British White Cattle, our British White Cattle Association and it's members.
Please
fell free to use this information as an aid to help you in your endeavors with
British White Cattle. Call on me if you think I can help.
Cattle
registered with the British White Cattle Association of America are in Great
Demand. I urge you to take advantage of it, keep your cattle registered up to
date and be ready when an opportunity presents itself. Not a member of the
BWCAA, contact the office for a
Membership Application. See BWCAA Web
Site.
New
owners of the cattle hail from 7 states, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri,
New York, North Carolina and West Virginia.
Females
were in Great Demand and the demand for bulls was adequate but could have been
better. This was an absolute auction and the only animal we failed to get a bid
on was a young bull. My guess is that had these been mature breeding age bulls
instead of calves they would have been in greater demand.
Lot
#22 was overall high selling lot, a cow-heifer/calf pair for $4300. Nine pairs
averaged $3200.
Lot
#1 was high selling bred cow, for $3850. Fifteen bred cows averaged $2400.
Lots
27 & 34 tied for high selling open heifer, each went for $2100. Nine open
heifers aged from 11 to 12 ½ months averaged $1800.
Lot
# 38 was high selling young bull, going for $1500. Six bulls aged from 9 to 12
months averaged $950.
Overall
average for 39 lots was $2200.
Sincerely,
Morris Halliburton
