Anyone out there want to weigh in on what they've seen for bred cow prices lately?
Thank You

4-8yr old 3rd stage cows are running from $800-1100 for good solid cows

2nd stage are going from $700-900

Smallrancher, They had the bred cow and heifer sale at Tri County on Sat. See if they have the results posted on their site.

I checked, they don't have Sat results posted.

Smallrancher, They had the bred cow and heifer sale at Tri County on Sat.

Strong demand for a change and a number of empty trailers going home. Early black heifers went over $900 and early solid mouth cows went over $800. My eight (six of them broken mouth) hard keepers sold at the end of the sale for an average gross of $634. One of them was 15 years old and the vet tagged her red for having a solid mouth?

Not many deals there unless you liked small heifers or Herefords. I bought back some wf fall caving heifers for $650. Tried to upload a pic but they were too big... My neighbor got some solid mouth Hereford hay fed cows for $575.

Thanks for the replies. MNMT or Steve, where is Tri County at?

Sounds like cow prices are going up pretty good.

Tri County is in Motley MN. Lots of cattle go through their auctions.
