[QUOTE="BC, post: 422273, member: 67"] The majority of the cattle sold in Texas sale barns are sold one at a time. The county I live in has about 58,000 beef cows and the average herd size is 33 (USDA Census of Agriculture figures). Many small producers who do not have enough calves of same sex, weight and quality to group. We do see a dock of $5 to $7 per cwt. between steers and bulls over 500 lbs. Several of the order buyers carry steer only orders and others can buy bulls and steers mixed together. If you do not castrate your calves you are limiting the number of buyers who can bid on your calves. [/QUOTE]
