    Are prices going down

    ok question. so how would a person know what auction to take their cows to to get best price, or how to know when it is the best time to sale at that auction. I dont think i can trust the figures they post and then get taken again so how can i prevent this from happening again

    Are prices going down

    the only time i have gotten 30 cents was for a cow with a broken leg. I nevered sold cattle around this time, these were 5 heifers who kept sticking their heads under and tearing up my fences so i had to get rid of them.
