[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1828502, member: 32879"] It seems the only stock I sell for a decent price, compared to national prices, are weigh cows and bulls. I admit that most of my calves are around 650 lbs. and a little fleshy, but with more pounds I still get a better price per head than by selling them lighter. Back in August and September, some locally were selling truck load lots of 750 pounders very competitively, but now prices are off across the board. It is a little discouraging to sell calves for $1.90 when similar cattle are selling for $2.30 in Missouri and Oklahoma. Kenny, I have always found your comments on price trends informative and worth noting in regard to our central Kentucky situation. The futures markets this year have a lot of people scratching their head. It seems some real structural changes are occurring that make any predictions of the market risky. Personally, I do not see why we need a futures market for feeder calves. Also, LRPs may have actually hurt prices for those not involved. [/QUOTE]
