[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1541422, member: 25884"] No joke. Lighter weight steers here will bring an average 1.35... varying from 1.00 to 1.60 for the very best. But the heavier weights 550-650 are bringing 1.35 to 1.50. Heifers are running 1.00 to 1.35. 3 weeks ago a friend bought 19 that weighed in the 550's and averaged $.83. I would have fainted if I'd gotten that check. He feeds them to 8-900 and ships them. I guess he raises 100 or more at a time. Can you imagine less than $500 for a 550+ weight heifer and the ones that are weighing in the 750's were bringing 1.15???? Buyers say they can't get the trucks, and with this wet and crappy weather, the bigger ones are a better risk.... but ouch.... [/QUOTE]
