Bred Heifer Prices

Heres a chance to get an idea of bred heifer and cow prices...Last week at the local sale they sold about 100 head of nice bred heifers-- top bunch went for $1310-- all were right around the $1300 price....

I was in and out- and caught portions of the sale--Looks like Joe Goggins and crew did pretty well...Top young cows I saw sell were $1600... Saw quite a few sell around the $1500 mark...Bred heifers mostly in the $1450 range-- altho I saw some toward the end get down in the $1200 range...

Definitely optimism in the cattle industry...

Prices seem really high.
At that price why wouldn't very other rancher to raising replacements?

Hope ya don't take this the wrong way, but......
most every other rancher CAN"T raise those type of replacements!
Most herds are crossed up so much, there's very few straight bred commercial herds anymore.
