prices of steers and heifers are still strong:
a. steers or bulls 300-500: 105-129; 500-650: 95-116; 700-850: 85-100
b. heifer 300-500: 95-119; 500-650: 88-114; 700-850: 78-90
c. bred cows are 950-1300 (from average to great bcs)
hard to make profit when your intial cost is too high to make a profit. in our area, there are expecting hay to be higher in 2011. they are shifting good alfalfa overseas, compressing them like cement blocks. they are a lot poor alfalfa for beef cattle this year. with increased of ethanol from 10-15%, i hope that it would not affect the feed for next year. in my area, they are raising wheat,soy, and
corn for next future crop. uscangus-newbie....
