[QUOTE="stocky, post: 758839, member: 1150"] Around here, to get the starting price for 3 in 1's, start with the slaughter price. A good cow at 1100 lbs will bring 65 cents, that is 715 dollars, then if she is good, her calf will weigh at least 300 for her to be bred back in the 1st period, so that is 1.40 per pound or 429 dollars, so the base price for that pair starts at around 1150 dollars. Had a buddy got a good buy at a sale barn during a herd dispersal. He bought twelve, 3 year old black white face cows with 300 lb black calves and bred back in 1st stage. The cows were small----900 lbs, and he paid 1275 per pair. Slaughter and feeder markets make pairs worth more split than most people can pay for the pair. It was a normal Saturday sale, not a special sale, and they made a big mistake selling all 12 pairs together. Lots of people wanted to buy 2 or 3 of the pairs, but just a few people had money to buy all 12. They should have brought another 150 or so per pair had they sold them correctly. [/QUOTE]
