tomgobbler Report post Posted April 10, 2020 Most cows are just now calving - so calves are little - most people will ween there calves around late sept - oct ..... if your wanting about about 6 month old 500 lb calf ..... however down in the valley with warmer weather some people calve year round and so you could find one that is weened now - or you can find them that are last years calves .... not sure what your looking for or how long you want to feed it ..... but Craig’s list has lots of calves .... weve got 16 but they are a month old .... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azbirdhunter88 Report post Posted April 16, 2020 Go to Marana stockyards when they are selling. They are going cheap right now with all this crap going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
singleshot Report post Posted April 16, 2020 Talked to Wilcox auction this morning. Always have been great people to work with and very knowledgeable. Black Angus under 550 lbs. are bringing in considerably more than market quotes. They expect it to taper off some as the desert dries up and the feeder operations get stocked up. Got a couple loads of 450 pounders headed that way soon. Poor graze a few years ago has our cows out of synch and we are getting a lot of late calves. Sold off about a fourth of the cows early this year fearing poor green up. Looking now like we might hold back some of our heifers, you just never know.
