Patty, Thanks, most folks only know about the Easter market and do not realze that November and December are good meat market times too. Since I have a very small herd and do not show, I sell most of my culls and extras to the meat market. karen

Also look to your local sale barns , ours has started a big sale which goes along with the major holidays.
