What prices are others seeing? They have kept going up here. Talked to a friend last week that had recently sold 30 head of older cows. He said he will buy 30 heifer pairs this year. He called where he bought some heifer pairs for $4,500 last fall. They said they are asking $6,000.00 this year. He said he was going to go look at them. Heard of top quality bred heifers that brought $4,500.00. Glad we don’t need any. These heifers were all born and raised in this area and are from known genetics. Those heifers brought in from the north are selling cheaper. Just curious what others are seeing.

I haven't seen or heard of any bred heifers selling locally. On Superior's country page which has bred heifers from all over the county both the asking price and those listed as sold are at about $3,500 +/-.
Last I saw was around $3500 but heifer prices in general have been on rise so my info may be out dated in this marked.
$4500 for good animals would not surprise me. I was saying that $3000-3500 was light given what calves are bringing.

Those 3 bred heifers I delivered last week, the dude gave $4500 each for. 20 month old registered red Charolais, 4 months bred with heifer calves. I was thinking at the time, that the dude must really want that bloodline or something, but it appears that commercial cows and heifers are bringing that now. Or close to it.

Seen 2 non bred heifers come through the sale yesterday bring $3300 each. The owner said he will bring 4 more next week.
What kind were they? How old and what weight?

Weighed about 1000lb, over 2 year old, Angus, supposed to be registered but just put in the head pen. Not advertised.
Brings up the question of why they wasn't bred.

No joke. Hard pass. Especially is that has that fat, piggy look.
People sure do love bidding on those!
I think a lot of people create their own destiny with heifers.
Youve got that right. Same w bulls too though. Fat sells.

Been lots of big open heifers coming to town here. They are the ones who didn't take when bred. They have been selling between $2.00 and $2.40. I am sure they are going to the feedlot to be finished.
