[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 360903, member: 1715"] You nailed that one Frenchie! In my area a 350# calf sells for about the same $/cwt. as a 450# because most guys want the 450-550 weights. Also the quality is more variable with the lighter calves since there are more tail enders and poorly bred stuff. If you are patient you can pick up one or two good ones at a time, but obviously they will not all look alike at 800 pounds. I am paying US $116 to $123/cwt. for light weights right now. You need a good eye to come out on these. I have made more than my share of mistakes... [/QUOTE]
