Record Cattle Sales

In that recent Booth's Cherry Creek Ranch sale, we noticed that there was a bull that went for $45,000. Let's learn more about Booth's Cherry Creek Ranch.   "I got started as a young boy. I was born and raised right on the ranch where the sale barn is here in Veteran Wyoming. Dad was an avid performance breeder and kept all the performance records and would submit them to the American Angus Association. And so this is in the mid 60s and so you know I'm five, six-year-old when I'm nine, I buy my first bread heifer out of Montana, a bred female and that was my first cow, then of course I was of age to be able to show them. I had a lot of Angus heifers in my 4-H project and did branch basically off a dad's breeding program." ~ Sean Booth from Booth's Cherry Creek Ranch.   From the National Beef Wire, Emporia Livestock in Emporia, Kansas delivered a strong sale with 712 pound steers at 417.50 and 758 pound steers at 403.00, setting an all-time high for seven weights and marking the ninth highest seven weight price on record. Their 804 pound steers sold at 367.00 dollars ranked as the third highest eight weight price in barn history. In the nine weights 912 pound and 901 pound steers both brought 344.00, good for the seventh and eighth highest prices ever at the barn.   Congratulations to Emporia livestock and congratulations to the Ogallala Livestock Auction mMarket in Nebraska celebrating 75 years in business.
