As we begin a new year, it is beneficial for every breeder to research the trends of the Longhorn industry, which helps them prepare for the 2018 breeding program. While not the only data available, Hired Hand Software offers several services and products to Texas Longhorn breeders to help them stay more informed.

The data outlined below was cultivated from those various services and products including:

Prepared by Molly Clubb of Hired Hand , the report includes those sales which used Hired Hand Live in 2017, the Texas Longhorn Legacy Sale, and Hudson Valentine Fort Worth Sale that Hired Hand attended. It does not include other sales that Hired Hand could not attend and those that did not use Hired Hand Live.

Please note that Hired Hand  strives to ensure all of this data is accurate. However, human error happens so please don’t hold any mistakes found against them or us. They donate their time and resources to tabulate and publish this data in hopes that it can assist breeders for future breeding and program decisions.

If there is anything you would like Hired Hand to try to track better, include in future reports, etc., please feel free to let them know by contacting Molly Clubb at molly@ hiredhandsoftware.com or 319-269-8903.

According to Hired Hand research and the sales from which they gathered, for 2017 data, the overall consignment average for 2017 was $4,462. You will see this number referenced throughout the report as a cut off for monetary information on animals.

Great News for 2018: All sales will be included in Hired Hand’s semi-annual and annual reports, so that they may be more inclusive.

Special thanks to our customers who use our website software and/or Hired Hand Live. Because of each of you, we are able to continue to find new ways to better serve you and the Industry overall.
