Big day at the Hairy Cow Ranch

Good luck with your sale. I would say you are not superstitious if you have a sale on the 13 ;-). Weather looks good and the beef business is showing signs of optimism, you should do well. Checked out your web site, nice looking bull in the picture.

The bull sales in Manitoba have been going very well. Much better than anyone expected.

Best of luck.

When the dust settled at the Hairy Cow Ranch we Sold 20 out of twenty one Bulls. On bull had a bit of a hitch in his giddyup from fightin and a scar on his eye from a past injury. He will be banded this week. The rest of the bulls, with an average weight at 22/23 months of 1555 pounds sold for an average price of $1584.00. You couldn't get any more real than this sale, just like all of our sales, and Hey rpkaiser still has a "current inventory".
Thanks to all for support.

Too bad grassfarmer didn't wait for your sale. He could have saved himself about $1500!

That's OK cowman I've already got my maternal breed. I use the Charolais to produce the best "commodity beef" I can until such time as I establish a market for all my grass-fed Luing beef.
I hope you have many satisfied customers Randy!

Actually you know I knew that grassfarmer? I was just tweaking you a bit....
But on a more serious note...I don't know very much about Luing Cattle. I know one of the Churches around Airdrie was into them pretty heavy awhile back. So tell us a bit about them? How do they milk? How are their feet? How do you see them fitting in to the overall picture and how do you see the future in marketing this animal? What color do you get when you cross them with a Char?
I ask you these things because I like to try to understand how people think and why they do certain things, not because I want to give you a hard time?

cowman, if you log onto the Oklahoma State University website:
www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/
you will be able to see any breed of cattle in the world; dairy or beef. They have a picture and history there on Luing cattle. Damn good lookin' little cow, too.
