Sounds good for where your at. Heifers seem high compared to the steers, your heifers sold nearly as good as they would here, steers are about 20$ cheaper and that's normal.SmokinM":1bk0f7s9 said:Well they still sold pretty good. Steers avg. 567# at 242.57 heifers avg. 518# at 237.73. Made enough to make my hay equipment payment plus a little extra so not to bad.
Does it not say on your check who buys them there? They do here, never thought about it but it may be different some places.Williamsv":1c1f3zz2 said:I like to see mine go through the ring too, and see who buys them.
Oh ok, here we use are names to buy with and then a number after that if we need them charged or penned different ways.SmokinM":1887lhlt said:Steers were #3s and S1 the heifers were all #2. I think that's why the close price difference. They do tell you on the check who buys but it is just their number no name or location. If my steers had went 1-2 they would have really made my check book smile. I will see if I can't fix that for next load.

I agree, I also know the auctioneer talks our calves up when he knows we're there. Does it help? I have no clue but it makes us feel good.
