Did Our Bred Heifers Make a Profit? | Replacement Female Sale Breakdown 💰🐮

We finally hauled our bred heifers to town… but did they actually make a profit? In this video, we take you along as we: • Pin and load a set of 7–8 month bred heifers • Haul them to the Front Pasture Replacement Female Sale • Walk you through the sale barn – ring, catwalk, alleys, and all • Watch our heifers sell (and try not to get too attached 😅) • Break down the real numbers at the end: purchase price, commission, lease, and actual profit per head Cody also explains: What “open heifers,” “bred heifers,” and “pairs” mean How a special consignment sale works vs. a regular sale barn Why we sometimes trade replacement females instead of keeping a big string of mama cows How we think about return on investment in cattle vs. just parking money in a CD If you’ve ever wondered, “Can you really make money buying and selling bred heifers?” — we run through the math step-by-step and talk about the 5–6%+ annual return we got on this set (and how it could have been higher selling private treaty). It’s part ranch vlog, part sale barn tour, and part ranch-finance class — Bar 7 style. Thanks for riding along with us. Y’all keep ranching, wrenching, and praying.
