[QUOTE="Sthrncwboy, post: 1811472, member: 42970"] Yeah, in a heart beat if that were true. Got to consider the source. These type cattle have doubled in price since 2021. I think it was Dave in Oregon that posted some 750 lb steers brought $600. I have never seen roping steers that high. Back in the early 80's, when team roping was growing in leaps and bounds, and steers were the only thing you could import from Mexico (so none raised in the US), I saw steers go for $525. More and more people are finding out about these Criollo - Angus crosses, and are buying up these cattle at good prices. This past winter, when Warren and Scott decided to get another herd of 100, I hauled about 180 out of El Paso ( not at one time), and people would be waiting at the place when we pulled up with them, wanting to buy some. I think he sold 30 something out of those 1st hundred, and I went back 3 times, getting 25 to 30 at a time, before they ended up with their 100. The first ones we got in January were $250 each, and the last load around April he gave $450 each. When they sold their herd in spring of 2022, they got $950 a pair, and those calves were half Brangus. Those last 14 he sold a few weeks back had MFB calves on their side, bred to black composite bulls, and they sold for $1250 a pair. I don't know if this price jump is a result of more demand, or just overall inflation. Probably a little of both. [/QUOTE]
