[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1731421, member: 25884"] Weights over 650-700 are discounted here too. We can get within $50-100 for a 550 steer as a 700 lb steer so why feed it that much longer. Also has to have some bearing on many/most are pulled off cows and "trailer weaned" and they will run in the 450-600 lb size... so there are alot more of them but it also beings out more competition for them. Around here there just aren't enough to make pot loads of 7 wts.....and it seems that they are not a size that fits in to going out to wheat or ready to go on feedlots. Been seeing some 550 wts bringing in the mid-upper 1.70's.... some 700 lb ones were bringing 1.40's... so 965 as opposed to say about 1025.... not worth the time or feed for the weight gain. [/QUOTE]
