With a shrinking cow herd, American Hereford Association Field Representative Aaron Friedt is seeing an impact on production sales this winter. “Every one I’ve been to so far has been better than last year,” said Friedt. “These high quality replacement heifers coming out of these sales are just ringing the bell right now; we sold a set of commercial Hereford open heifers for over $2,400 a couple of weeks ago and we’ve got baldies for over $2,000.” Friedt is seeing a lot of competition between feedyards and replacement heifer programs at the auction barn.
