Guernsey holstein heifers for sale (still)

Hey All,
I am still trying to sell my 10 month old heifers. They are in good shape, do you think $ 300 a piece is about right? Anyway they are in WNY if you want to come and see 'em!

Actually that sounds a little low (not that I know what I am talking about really) but you're a long ways from me even if I was buyin'

got any pictures, I'd still love to see them

I love a good-looking guernsey. I think you are way to low on your price. Go $5-600. You can always come down if needed.

Sounds low to me.

You should at least get meat prices for them based on their weight. Find out what 10 month old heifers sell for at auction and go from there.

I'm not suggesting you sell them for meat, just that the minimum you should ask is what they're worth to someone as beef. Being nice sized, healthy heifer calves, you should be able to get much more than beef prices.

So even if its a little low, at lest I got alot of interest and hopefully sold them fast. Now, to replace them with a horse!!! I know I know, would have said the same thing your thinking a few months ago, but I just cant get away from equis!
