[QUOTE="Bez, post: 79700, member: 412"] Don't sell them when I wean - just leave them on grass or hay depending on the time of the year. They leave here around 700 pounds. Breed up and cull hard - save your pennies unless you plan on finishing. Mind you I have a bunch here and a bunch coming - with no market - so maybe I'll give some away to neighbours kids - might be cheaper in the long run. Dairy animals are driving prices down even further. Beef @ 400 - 700 pounds were going for around 40 - 45 cents a pound and dairy were running around 20 - 25 cents a pound. A few real dandy beef went higher - two animals hit a buck a pound - heifers for breeding (?)- but most were in the range I mentioned. Only 30 or so head of beef at all sizes went through the ring - most around here are going out the gate direct to freezer folks. Around 60 - 75 cents a pound on the hoof - the buyer does all the kill and cut up costs. Bez [/QUOTE]
