Aug 24 prices, east texas

Help Support CattleToday:

I wonder why prices aren't close to that in y'all's area? Is it proximity to feed yards or quality of cattle? I've seen pics on here and don't think it would be quality of the cattle. Only thing I'd add to those prices is this, I live in East Tx and until I started calving in 90 days and weaning for at least 90 days I never got top prices. Some would bring good money some wouldn't. The small print below prices says it all.
