[QUOTE="sjr725, post: 286184, member: 4936"] I think up here in Montana, prices historically back off a little in the fall because that's when most guys are weanin and sell off their calves. We've contracted our calves the past few years - but at the sale ring you're now starting to see 300+ head of feeders go through when earlier in the summer you'd only see 5 or 6 - so when there aren't as many out there the prices go way up. Regardless, I'm glad for the contract price we got from selling on video auction back in June. We've used this method for the past 3 years and I think we've done much better. This year our heifer calves brought only .003 less than the steers! We kept back 60 of these good commercial heifers for replacement and a couple of steers for the freezer. [/QUOTE]
