Aaron said:95-98% of breds here going for slaughter because of no extra feed and general depression in the industry. What is it like there?

Wonder what the freight would be to here Kenny? That and the death loss due to those who refused to acclimate....

Costs me about $200 a head to have cattle custom hauled by international carrier 400 miles.
You and Kenny are roughly 2500 miles apart.
So I would estimate somewhere in the $1200 per head range. Perhaps $1000 or less per head if a pot could be filled.

I would fire your hauler. It costs .05 per lb to get our calves 400 miles to the feedlot they are at.
2500 miles is 50 to 60 hours of driving at $160 per hr for a pot Canadian funds. $9600 Divide that by 47 head. $204 per head. Get them here for 15 to 1600 Can.

I thought that iron stood for Low Input?
