[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1842010, member: 40587"] Stayed home with the old lady all week, because she is sick. I watched auctions online all day Wednesday and today watching for head cows..breds and pairs and 3N1s. But, I'd see bottle calves, etc., as they usually sell before or after head cattle. Watched some steers and heifers by the pound, but not for long. Prices were literally all over the place. Watched sales in KY, MO, OK, SD, Minn, and NM. Some of the higher selling cows are also some of the worst. And some of the cheapest cows are the best I saw all day. It just depended on where in the country the auction was. The cheapest I saw were i the KY sales, but also as a whole, they were by far the best cows. Best place to sell, as usual, was the MO sales. They brought the highest prices, and had some good looking cattle. Moving west, the further west you went, the more the quality suffered, except for one of the SD sales. Prices weren't as good as MO, but closer to those prices than the KY prices. I think it will be a wild ride all of this year and into 2025. If I don't change my mind before Saturday, I may be selling those Plummer cows with the Chi-Angus calves, and buying back something I know I can make money on, if calves drop to $1.50/lb. [/QUOTE]
