If we want a separate folder, we need to have at least 6 guys asking for it.
I'll go first.
20hd cow-calf on some permanent creek pasture. Feed them out and depending on market outlook, we'll buy some calves to go in the lot with them.
Small time, but we do the best we can with them.

I have 60 head cow calf and buy a few feeders to go with them at times and feed through the winter. Sell in the spring or later at around 800-900.

120 head angus , some registered , I think for feeding, the charolais angus is hard to beat . Feed a few , but mostly have seed stock for sale after the drought turns to a flood. Beginning to wonder if it ever will . sw okla.n l ballard.

We raise cattle in the Chautauqua hills in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. Numbers vary with the season, but it's a lot.

I have 4 angus cows, yes 4. I usally have 1 1/2 calf death loss a year that end up in the freezer ;D .
I run them with my dads herd, I think he has around 30 some. I plan on gettting a few more to run on my place as soon as I get all the brush cleaned off and the fences back in shape.

Watching the Superior Auction to stay cool today.
Seems like feeders are holding up well. Plenty of GOOD 7-weights, delivery sept-november selling for upper 120's tops to 136.
Just sold a group of bred heifers with a lotta ear for $1325. That seems like a good deal for the southern guys.
Another pot load of red heifers out of Nebraska, looked like RA and herfy crosses synch'd and bred to lbw angus for a 5day period in march calves brought $1225. That was cheap for the quality of heifers shown.
The best heifers I saw sell were two pot loads of Red Angus weighing 1010, sold for $1575. Likely worth the money there.
What are you guys seeing in your area? Dry weather liquidating some of the old cows and heifers?

Wow ! it looks like you got atleast 6 bef feeders to agree on something . I think we'll agree there is nothing tastier on God's green earth than a steak just off the grill. Beyond that, we'll fight like cats and dogs about breed wars, grass-fed vs. grain fed, and the proper liveweight for a fat steer. At least I hope so.....
