[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1729257, member: 4063"] Slaughter cows sell based on their dressing percentage, thin cows bring the lowest price because the meat to bone/hide/offal ratio is the lowest. Processing costs the same to retrieve what meat is there. All of this is built into the price you receive at the sale barn. Seasonal highs/lows also come into play. I'm just saying that a 1200 lb cow in decent body condition will bring a lot more than $400. Slaughter cow prices are really good for this time of year. [/QUOTE]
