Around here last Monday at sale barn several groups of heifers weighing 900+ lbs brought 1.00 lb. They were nice sets of very uniform angus . I should have bought them but don't have anywhere to put them. These were nice and I knew where they came from.
I think its a buyers market right now.

Here is a link to our sale results, which was just last weekend. Open heifers averaged about $2K. These were simm, simmangus, and angus heifers....

About 2/3 what they were worth 4 or 5 months ago.

Fire Sweep, just by glancing at your report and comparing to the sale today. Pairs there went higher, bred heifers were higher there, open heifers were close to the same and hard to tell on bulls.Fire Sweep Ranch":1iloj7i3 said:
The Sim Angus bulls and Angus bulls did really good I thought here today while the pure Sim bulls were a lot cheaper, several good looking bulls for less than $2,000.

There may be some that cheap all over if calves go down a little more. Did you go to Cattlemans for their special bred sale on last Monday? I watched the whole sale and bid twice. They got the young cattle sold pretty high.

I went to the Breeding for The Future sale there Saturday. They were still pretty good I thought, spring calving heifers were $1800 and up. Most of the open heifers were $1200 -1300 and lots of pairs about $2600. Sim bulls were the cheapest.

sold them for pretty cheap.. i sold most of my cow herd to one guy last week. 2200 / pair w/ 400 lb calves. 2000 / pair with 250 lb and under calves. 1500 ea for heavy bred cows. 1500 fo rthe bred heifers. don't thinik I gave them away.. given the prices currently.. but I don't think I did great either.
He got one hell of a good, young, culled herd for a good deal.

no, i'm keeping just a few of the herd. 11 brood and 1 bull. the best ones.. and some of the calves.
selling the farm, and buying a new one. the new farm is all currently crops.. so i need to establish pasture before i start buying cows again. This time around, I'm going to buy herefords, or preferably, F1's.
new farm is 3.5 hours away.. so hauling 550 round bales over there is out of the question.. and buying all that hay, then even more in the spring, wouldn't pencil out. but.. the new place.. with about 10' deep top soil.. should hold a pretty good amount of cattle

They had some AI bred heifers bring over 2100. They sold 20 open heifers from 900-1250. Good pairs 2,000 to 2,400. A pretty good market overall though for how bad it's been a lot of places.

I bought a bull and open heifer. Wanted bred one but just a little more than I wanted to pay, the one I wanted brought $2400, paid less than that for one like it back in spring.

We sold some bred heifers private treaty in Jan for $2850, which was only a couple hundred more than the Sale Barn average. Planned on doing it again this year but based on what I'm seeing on this board we may just keep them. We also have 28 weaned calves we planned to sell earlier this month but we talked to the owner of the Sale Barn & he said to wait until this week or the 1st of next year.
