[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1606451, member: 25884"] That's still more than here.... I'm not even going into town for the sale today. Spent hours there last Friday and prices were about the same as 3 weeks ago. Most all feeder bulls here are 1.00-1.20 at best. But the only thing going is that prices seem to be the same for all sizes. Used to be the smaller 4-5 wts would bring more per pound than 6 wts and up. Now the 6-8 wts are bringing the nearly the same as the smaller ones. So added weight is going to help in the gross amount of the check. If you have some grass like we have left, then the gain is not costly. There won't be any regrowth of fall grass from it being too dry and hot for too long, the rain now is all well and good but won't grow us any more grass here. We are looking for 20's tonight and that will pretty much shut down cool season growth. We had one that got through as a bull. Was going to get him up and band him with the big bander, then hold him for a little bit, but he was such a nut case, getting him in was a real crap shoot. So when we got him in with some others, and could keep him in the catch pen and barn with the other steers we were going to sell, he went as a bull. He was weaned and weighed over 600, and I was so glad to see him gone. You take your lumps for some things. [/QUOTE]
