We were up early this moring and heading to the first bull sale we have attended in about 5 years. It was hell on earth....the bulls were mean spirited and kept charging the fence, the food was so-so, the auctioneer was way to loud and those dick headed, deep pocketed bloody hutterite's kept buying all the bulls I had tagged to bid on... every single one of the 8 bulls we were hoping to choose our next herdsire from sold for more than $3000. We did buy one of the bulls we liked but we had to pay over our budgeted amount.
The old guy sitting in front of me kept leaning back against my legs and they went completely numb at least twice...my back was breaking from not having anything to lean my back on and the bulls kept pawing shit and shavings into the stands. Ugh....remind me why I used to like going to sales...it's no fun when you don't have money to spend.
After the sale I told R, I was divorcing him and marrying one the owners sons....they sold 160 bulls and averaged $3500. do the math folks, that works out to $560,000. for just the male calves....a half a million dollars in just one day...ooooooohhhhh remind me why we got out of the purebred business....ahahahahaha oh ya I remember why...it's a major pain in the ass...and I don't miss it all but I do miss the money. whaaaaaaaaa!!
Well I am off to bed to see if I can get R to turn onto his stomach and quit snoring long enough for me to fall asleep. Wish me luck.
Here are some shots of our new crop of babies.
Ewwww cleaning the snot out of his nostril...

why did u get out of the pure bred biz again??
no one would buy our bulls...ahahahah it is just such a bullshit way to make a living...left you feeling like a used care salesman... we tried to be honest and accomadating, down to earth, fair and loyal to our customers...repeat buyers are worth there weight in gold...but they felt no loyalty and would go and buy bulls from someone else even after you practically cut your testicles off and served up on a platter, so fuck them....fuck them all.
gotcha!
