[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1672164, member: 25884"] Band/castrate, dehorn, what few we ever have, blackleg at minimum, triangle 10 most.... if weaning then 45 day minimum... We try to have 450-550 wts to sell in March. We buy and trade some. 650 & up are discounted terribly here so unless you have a pot load, they are cheap... we can buy them at 1-1.25 a lb..... and we are selling the 475-525 wt steers here right now for 1.70-1.83.... and 450 wt heifers brought 1.45 2 weeks ago.... So a 500 steer at 1.75 is worth more than a 650 wt steer at 1.25.... makes no sense here to keep over 575 lbs. tops. 650 lb heifers are cheaper... herefords in the $.75 range to blacks in the .80-1.00 range.... bought some 2 weeks ago... 7wts that I armed and several are bred... they are in decent shape and not too small so ought to make some brood cows... might calve out and sell with calves. Breds and cow/calf pairs are anywhere from 650 to 2200.... wide range, younger ones and real nice ones bring more... but it is getting on grass so they will stay up a bit I think. [/QUOTE]
