[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1796169, member: 25884"] Shipped 20 lighter weight steers Friday.... single 400 lbs didn't match was $251.00. Another single weighed 430 and he had looked a little rough and we wormed him but was a good steer overall... brownish instead of the "required black".... we ran him from 1.30 to 1.87 and let him go for that..... they would have stolen it... 7 @495 --2.55 .... 3@ 370-- 2.55..... 5 @ 413 .... 2.59.... 3 @560 lbs 1.97.... We left to go to a bull sale and came back and the 3 nutty heifers had sold ... 2@510 lbs were 1.51 and the other they "stole".... 475lbs. and a better heifer they said would go in the "yard graded pen" but didn't...she just did not match the other 2.... 1.20... We would have brought her back and dealt with her going over gates every time she got crowded in the barn and sold at the other place we take "odd balls" as we always do better there but she was being stupid in the barn and we just said ship her... too late now... BUT that is why we always stay when our animals are sold... this yard has gotten worse about knocking things off to buyers for cheap prices if they can get away with it and there isn't alot of bidding... The good steers still sell good here.. but it has become a buying station more for the owners than the good "sale barn" it used to be. If we hadn't have been there that other single steer would have gone for 1.30.... started a couple of the others back at 1.80 and I figured we were going to get hurt but there were a couple of guys that wanted the smaller ones and the group of 7 went to someone who knew they were ours and wanted them... Still prices were a little off on the 550 wts from 2 weeks ago... glad we sold those others then. Had one "lot" of 60 that would weigh at 830-860 ... weigh on the farm with 3% shrink... all black.. and the guy bid them in at 187.85..... there were 3 bidding on them... owner wanted 190..... What does everyone think this fall will be like??? One friend that runs 50-60 or so out to pasture and has a guy that normally buys them, offered him 2.15 for them this fall... 850 wt average...guaranteed now... and the friend turned him down... I think he is nuts but I haven't looked at the futures on those weights... [/QUOTE]
