Polled Hereford Sale

On Saturday the 24th we participated, as sellers for the first time, in the Cross Timbers Polled Hereford Association sale at West, Texas.  We sold the 3 heifers I mentioned in my Extreme Bovine Makeover post and they looked great.

Here's our little "pen of 3" after their final shampoo, blow dry and and brush on Thursday.  They spent the night on pine shavings in a pen I built for them in the barn (it was muddy outside).  Amy and I drove them over Friday morning and got them into a pen, then looked at everybody else's cows and talked to people about ours.  That evening there was a dinner and a business meeting.  Saturday morning more looking and talking, then Kathy and Amy attended the sale while I helped work the pens and alleys in the back.  Amy said that when our calves came in the auctioneer said, "Whooee, these look like show heifers."  And they did.  It was a great time and I was proud of our cattle.  Thanks to all of you for helping when you can and being interested.  I think Dad and Rich would be proud of Heyroth Polled Herefords.
