oh my God.....Huntet...that is entirely dependent on who wins the election. If Biden wins you can pretty much guarantee there will be further restrictions and shutdowns that will close processing plants down. If that happens it's going to take another nose dive and so will our economy...it's a gamble no matter what you do
Ioh my God.....
It's the price of the #1 best calves normally. Everyone thinks they have the #1. No #2 or #3. Lots of price difference sometimes.TCRanch

we haven't sold many cattle so trying to study the futures right now but I got a friend who says the attached ISNT real prices only market pricing; says I need a friend whose a buyer to have them tell me real value.
Say what?? we sure thought this was real sales after they happened ..... please advise.
Any time - shoot me a pm or we'll get together.Maybe next Wednesday but scared to take my little few..... small herd but growing.
Loads of questions for u if u wouldn't mind
Correct. And the average. They don't post the dink calf or cull cow that was practically given away. I like to compare the results with El Dorado & Blackwell.I

We take our calves Tuesday night (too many for sale day) but if you only have 6, you may want to consider taking them in Wednesday morning & save a couple bucks for overnight feed. Auction starts at 11:00.That's great info; ya we are setting up to take our 6 Tuesday night since we think prices will get worse
On ours around here the price on the left is usually the avg and the price on the right is the high.TCRanch

There is a lot of difference in market report. Some have a report listed by the USDA. They have a person who attends the sale just to report on the market. But in some states they report at a lot of sales and other states they do none at all. Lots of reports are done by the sale yard themselves. To say that the credibility of those reports is questionable might be an under statement. The two sales nearest to me both do self report. I have sat in the sale and then read the report a day or two later. One will be right what I saw. The other? Might have a good market But not near as good as reported. Lets just say I wouldn't want to buy a used car from that sale owner.I

Stock market went wild today due to first effective corona vaccine. Will be a while yet before folks get back to eating out on prime rib night.Fed and feeder prices have been on an upwards trend since Oct 20, and up big time this morning on the Chicago. Surely this will eventually filter down to our level.
Yup... DIS bringing the heat. Up like 10% from Friday to today.Stock market went wild today due to first effective corona vaccine. Will be a while yet before folks get back to eating out on prime rib night.
A grass based gambler would have bought light calves in October, and take them to grass next spring. Stocker VOG will be higher since corn prices has moved up.
Glad to see it finally.Yup... DIS bringing the heat. Up like 10% from Friday to today.
Some corona hot spots are out of control. Due to staffing shortages, some of these areas are allowing corona positive medical personnel to continue to working, but only in the corona ward...What are the reasons you think prices may get worse? Not saying that's wrong but other than political BS and feed prices what else are you seeing?
