[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1643514, member: 25884"] Here local, we have seen a drop of $.10-.20 on the steer calves from about 3 weeks ago. Heifers are pretty steady for the last month or 2. From 350 to 550 or 6 wts the heifers have run in the 120's to 135's.... Steers were as high as 1.70 for 4 wts ( we got 1.70 on a group of 5 420 lb steers) and many were in the 1.60's . Last 2 weeks they have dropped to the 1.50's mostly... might have been some of the holiday. 6wts were in the 1.30's to1.45's-.... Cow sale they were higher than I thought they ought to be, for no more than being just "cows".. and several were pretty aggressive in the ring.... yet several brought in the 1200 to 1600 range. I bought one for lb price, confirmed 8 months, because she walks a little stiff. Cost me 710.... and she presented me with a bull calf the next day. There were a couple others in the 7 -8 mo range, but they had their heads up looking for an exit... too high strung for my taste. I am satisfied with the one I got, would have taken a few more if they were calmer. Said that the one group only saw people from a distance in a truck or when the calves were caught up. NOPE can't run fast enough to get out of their way. The cow I got weighed over 1280.... if she does a decent job with the calf, she might get another chance. She was watchful but not snorty or anything when we eartagged the calf, and she got a Triangle 10 shot. Wanted to let her out on clean pasture with a couple others with small calves and get oriented a bit. Will get the whole group in in about a month or so, and work the calves. There are a couple of scattered cows with small calves, and a group that should be calving now.... all the calves will get worked before they get turned out to other winter pastures. [/QUOTE]
