Ouch ! That's not good
That would be very cheap for anything that could walk into or out of the ring.
We sat a little while earlier in the week at a sale, seemed like to us they were a little higher.
Nice. I take my calves to the sale on Monday. Those prices should make my checkbook look pretty good.
Torrington is usually a little higher than Riverton. I don't have enough to fill a truck, but there are guys that buy here and then haul them to Torrington. I sold some hay to a guy that buys calve here, backgrounds them and then sells them in Torrington; he said the difference in commission pays for the trucking.
Yeah, average $.20 more for weaned and vacc... that's about right.
We sold two bull calves yesterday we pulled from the development pen averaged 777 lbs at $198.50/cwt. They sold for $150 per head less than their 600 lb steer counterparts in October. Wish I had known these two wouldn't make the cut earlier, but that's how it goes. Just needed to get them off the feed bill and take our lumps. 5-6 wt steers we're bringing $260 to $300 / cwt all day at Torrington. Heifer calf market is a little stronger now than it was in October. Steers are about the same as October, maybe down $5-10 but still strong.
I think there was probably one bidder as well. . They would start them out at what the black and black baldies sold at, but never got a bid til he said .80. One that weighed 380 never got another bid,. Others got a bid or two, but none made it to .90. They were pure Charolais. No dairy or Brahma or Criollo in them . Even the good black ones were 50 cents to nearly a $1 cheaper than the Missouri auction. Maybe it was the weather?
I watched two in KY. They were probably 2nd highest behind Mo.
