[QUOTE="la4angus, post: 29607, member: 132"] Running Arrow Bill is right. Also besides gaining faster than heifers steers should gain cheaper, and will get larger and can be fed for a longer period of time, If your cost of gain is less than the finished price that means additional income. Steers don't come in heat and ride the other animals that they are being fed with, which causes all in the pen to not gain as well as they should,and are using energy which could go to gaining weight. Finished steers normally bring $2.00 or more per cwt than heifers. In the previous sentence, note I said NORMALLY. For the past several months that has not always been the case. A good source of local markets across the country, click on Markets on the green bar on the CattleToday Home Page, the next page that opens, click on livestock and then go to the local market inthe state that you want to look at. The states are listed alphabetically. [/QUOTE]
