[QUOTE="Keren, post: 492694, member: 3195"] :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Tell me, do the buyers bid on these calves by the head, or by the kilogram/pound??? Our show steers are auctioned by the kilogram, or sold over a grid. When sold over the grid we usually get around $2 - $3.50 a kilo, when auctioned prices generally get as low as $0.80/kg and up to $6.00/kg, with the average about $1.20/kg. Long story short, you never make money off a show steer here. It is all about stud promotion. And quite often the champions get the average price while the top price steer was unplaced. All steers get sold here, as they are judged on the hooks after the hoof judging. All our shows are what you would call 'terminal'. Oh, and all our buyers are the real deal, butchers mainly, plus meatworks or farmers wanting one to put in the freezer. I thought 50,000 was ridiculous. 300,000??? [/QUOTE]
