I am selling some feeders this weekend (private treaty). I live in Eastern Pa and have a mix of steers and heifers that wll be sold. They will probably average between 700-800 lbs. I sold to same person last year, same weights for $.90. That will obviously increase this year. I have seen...

The shame of it is I had a guy come to the farm a week after that sale and offer me .90 lb. I wouldn't have sent them, but the week before at the fat sale they were bringing good money for heifers of the same weight. I guess sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

They were solid black calves, not pregnant. Not 100% sure if it was a graded sale. They ran them in seperate lots so it may have been.

We sell for $2.00 lb hanging weight. Buyer pays .30 lb additional for cut , wrapped and frozen at processor. Some guys are getting $2.25 for their hanging weight. If you can get it why not take it.

I sent five angus cross heifers to a local feeder cattle sale in New Holland, PA last week. Two had an average weight of 850 and sold for .65 lb and three were 750 weight and sold for .63 lb. Needless to say I was less than pleased. I knew prices were lower, but I was expecting at least .85...

All crops require some input. I use corn silage and sorghum/sudan silage. We put up a bag a sorghum sudan because we were afraid we would run short on hay. We are planting it again this year because the cows love it!!! It grows great in a drought, you get multiple cuttings, and you can graze...

What kind of operation do you run? What breed(s) do you have?

I was thinking about that as auction season is getting into full swing. I am near Reading, PA. How bout you?

We currently have been mixing the barley in with the corn. To make our batches last a bit longer, we want to switch to the batch being corn and mineral mix. Would topdressing the barley or handmixing still have the same benefit with having gone through the hammermill? Our feed is ground by a...

I am weaning the calves this weekend and am looking for different recipes. I have plenty of corn silage, ear corn, barley, and oats to feed. I just want to see what most of feed to freshly weaned calves. They are started on silage and weigh in the 500 lb range.

Put iit in a silo or an bag. Silage that dry will spoil if put in a trench or pile. If in a silo or bag, add water as you put it in. Garden hose on blower.

I feed silage o my bulls and they perform quite well every year.

We just sold a 1300 limo bull and he brought 89 cents a pound. Don't risk the cattle's health or your own for that matter.
