[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1793305, member: 25884"] Sold the cull cows and they were mostly in the upper 70's... one in real good condition was .95. They have to weigh over 1100 to get the better prices and many of ours are in the 10-1100 lbs...and several had some age and 2 were high strung and wouldn't have put on any more weight if we kept them 3 more months on silage.... got 1.01 for a 1st calf heifer that was open... got bred too young and raised a poor calf but not really her fault since she was too young... the other 2 that also got bred too young, one had a dead calf and I dried her off and the other lost her calf at about 1 month... and dried her up too..stuck them out to pasture since we had plenty of grass there, to grow and see if they would breed back..... they were both 7 bred months this time, so they will get a chance to have their "first real calf" at 6 months older than they would have been if they had gone on and gotten bred when they were supposed to, instead of much too young.... If this one had been bred she would have stayed but she was open, and had filled out nice after pulling the crummy calf off her in January... and she had a crappy attitude of not wanting to come in...all good reasons to ship her. Sold 2 cow/calf pairs that were constant trouble makers about getting out... one brought 1450 and the other 1550... with 2 month calves on them... they were okay, nothing special... both had heifer calves... glad they are gone and no one else is bothering the fences now that they are not there to try every which way to be out... NOW....a couple days later we took 36 steers to the sale... they split them up into a group of 23, 7 and some pairs and singles... The group of 23 weighed in at 561 lbs.... we were hoping for 2.25.... they brought 2.54.... we hit a homerun on them. Over $1400/head ...... The group of 7 had one in there that shouldn't have been, he was slicker coated than the others and it hurt that group.... 1.83 @ 590 lbs... had a couple others bring 2.30.... We have another group of 20-30 that are a bit lighter... 4-5 wts... will be selling them also shortly. Heifers were in the 1.60-1.85 range for 4-6 wts.... one group brought 1.91 we didn't have any heifers at the sale. Have about 60 that we will be pulling 30 out to go to the joint deal pasture...and 15 to another guy... will sell anything else that is not top notch crackerjack perfect to keep for replacements... Talk is that 5 wt steers will bring $3.00 lb this fall... this is straight from the auctioneer and several cattle guys there at the sale on Friday..... We'll see.... [/QUOTE]
