Personal business – we’re not having a sale this year

I don’t talk a bunch about it on here but we’ve had small sale the past two years.  I think I’ve told most people that buy from us but for those I’ve missed, we’re not having our small sale this year.  I’m concerned, it’s gone just fine and we’re not ruling it out for next year.

We just have a genetic issue with too many of our steers this year; they have vaginas and are heifers.

If you’ve been to our sale, you know it’s a small deal and we actually like that.  We had a few consignors last year but we’re never going to be a big consignment type of sale, I just don’t know that we have the energy/resources to do that.  As such, if we don’t have enough steers, there’s no reason for us to have a sale.

While overall we’re about 60-65% heifers, on the top ten (the ones that matter) we’re about 7 out of 10 heifers. 

We’re selling the calves private treaty starting the week of San Antonio.
