Review Livestock Selection and Auction Terminology

so the new cows and the Jenny donkey have been out here probably about an hour now they're doing really well I'm gonna turn the camera around we'll zoom in on the cows and we'll talk a little bit about why we bought what we bought ok so let's talk about the donkey why we bought the donkey so this is a Jenny a donkey 100 bucks is what we bought it for and we bought it to help protect our cast from coyote and predator attack now over here look at our angus heifer calf and that calf is probably three weeks to a month old something like that still on mom's milk but eaten grass and this cow was a fairly large framed cow it was the first cow to go through the auction in the cow-calf pair so it was a very nice cow but it kind of caught everyone off guard at the auction and they were kind of feeling out the price and we ended up getting a fairly good deal 950 for the pair after she went through a lot of cows were in worse shape brought up to twelve to fourteen hundred dollars per cow calf pair so we got a pretty good deal on our cow what we wanted was a full bodied cow meaning that she was healthy she looked healthy the calf looked healthy and you can see she's just chowing down she's got a nice fullback in there not a very bony cow a pretty long cow and real Tivoli strong-looking beefy Angus cow now when you're at a livestock auction there are all matter of cows that go through so they had the cows aged in other words this cow is a seven year old cow they had them aged from one to nine and then they had full mouth broken mouth and smooth mouth meaning full mouth was over nine nine to ten years old broken mouth was somewhere in between that and then you have a smooth mouth cow which means that their teeth are ground down so basically the veterinarian age is a cow based on the wear of the cow's teeth pretty interesting some cows were marked pregnant some cows were mark not pregnant I don't think they preg check this cow in other words this cow could be pregnant again which would be awesome good stuff guys I hope you learned a
