[QUOTE="somn, post: 397848, member: 3721"] 95% of tha sales I go to you will see a $10 to $15 discount for bulls vs. steers on the same size calves. The 95% of sale barns that discount are large barns with order buyers or feedlot buyers on special calf sale days who know right down to the penny how much buying bulls actually will hurt their bottom line. The 5% of the barns that do not discount are smaller sale barns running fewer head selling to people wanting to buy something to keep the grass down and then later butcher for themselves. It is the buyer that sets the discount value if the buyer doesn't know enough to see the loss of profit he will not discount for it. It is always amazing to me to watch how badly bulls are discounted yet cow calf men continue to sell them as bulls instead of cutting them. What they stand to gain far outweighs the costs associated with making steers out of them. I say cut them young when it is less stressful on them and put the profit in your pocket not mine. [/QUOTE]
