Coffee anyone ?

Thank you. We are actually very relieved. We guess it was meant to be this way. DH and I have no idea why it's all gone how it's gone but we are taking it as this was how it was supposed to be. I'm going to try and breed the girls. I messed up because I'd already started synchronizing the heifers before they shipped. Now their cycles are going to be wonky. They didn't get the full protocol. I'm hoping they will cycle anyways in the next few days. Time will tell. Need to get them bred so they can settle before we haul them. Just going to do what we can on our end and pray on it for the rest.
It's awful that we both truly believe the manager was trying to get our heifers for bottom dollar and was caught. Then to offer top dollar and be so pushy for them when I took them back after saying he was sorry they didn't get through when they should have because it was a busy sale day. Ya right. We really suspect he was trying to make good money off our heifers. He gave me a month to decide on selling them to him.

I would make sure the owner knows exactly what his manager is up to.

I have one word for that guy. THIEF.

Lets see what's on the menu. Cat brought up a bird and ate it, heard some squealing downstairs, ah here we go a dead rabbit is now up here. Yesterday was a chipmunk. I'm hungry and jealous now.

I will once I've settled down a little. Right now I'm struggling with nice words.

We agree. It really bothers us that we truly feel that's what he was doing. Being a thief. His behavior was very aggressive I guess is the word in trying to fix what he created. I don't really know how to say it but it was over the top in apology and trying to buy them.

After being in San Jose for the last 6 days, I'm driving back to WA. Sis and I got Mother's room in Memory Care set up for her. Alot of the furniture she's had since being an Air Force wife. The number of moving stickers on the back is a slight testament to the number of van lines they have been in.

@RR Homestead ... I am sorry for the experiences on your cattle at that sale barn... previously and the current situation with the heifers.
One word of advice... We NEVER EVER sell anything at the stockyards anymore unless we are there... NEVER.... you go and watch and make sure they bring a fair price. Have had a few get "stolen" in the ring in the past.... one sale barn here closest will do that for single's that go through... we do sell some groups there, but hardly ever take any that will get singled out.... unless they are SUPERIOR animals... and we still sit through the sale....

You were right in catching what they were doing and doing a "no sale"...

Can't you just find a bull to lease and get them all bred black to an angus??? Quickly ????
I don't know the market or available farms there that might have some thing black to use....Or buy a young bull, use him and then you could resell him after you are here and they are bred... There is always a market for a good young breeding bull.... OR ELSE... get them moved, breed them to calve in early fall (bull goes in Oct/Nov) ... they will have several months for the calf to get some growth before the winter weather sets in... and you will have good sized feeder calves to sell in early spring.
