Going to Auction

Albert is getting ready to move the trailer so we can take T-Bone to auction

Here is our T-Bone, he is a really good look bull and we found out that he weighed 760 pounds - what a big boy for only being 1 years old!

Here are my 2 favorite cowboys.

We had a busy Saturday, loaded up T-Bone about 11:00 and drove to Navasota to the auction house. We got a seat about 12:30 and T-Bone went up for sell at 3:00 - yes, a long time to wait and a lot of cattle to go through before his turn. Charley was a really good boy through the whole thing, loved looking at the cows, but fell asleep on Albert before T-Bone came out. He started out at .70 cents a pound and went for .90 - it was very exciting to watch people bid on him. In my head he is going to be on a ranch surrounded by cows - having the time of his life - if it is a different story and he is headed to the slaughter house - ah - don't want to know about it!

It was a very interesting project for Albert and I, having a bull calf, raising him for 8 months and then selling him. We might consider this venture again, but not until we can more grass for the cattle to graze - the price of hay - ouch!!! I must say, getting him into the trailer without any cattle equipment - we are now officially cattle ranchers!! :)
