[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1811339, member: 8993"] I am friends with the owner of the one in Lee Co but never take a calf there. He is a good person but im not interested in only 1 buyer giving what they want. Their price yesterday.and today is .15 to as much as .45 cheaper than market. So lets average that at .30. On a 500lb calf thats $150 lost to save a commission of $17 at our barn here. All #2 are turned away or bought very cheap and a guy picks them up that night. He got 19 calves yesterday . Again the owner is a good person but its just not for me. I can't drive farther to take $133 less from my above example. sstterry, lets compare to the Knoxville Livestock Center which is closer to you and much easier haul. Up in Lee Co the highest price yesterday for 3wt or 4wt steers was 2.35. Knoxville had heavy 4wt steers as high as 2.80. People need to compare markets now. Its a really good time to make money or to give it away. [/QUOTE]
