[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1491858, member: 1682"] I typically ship the steers as green yearlings just turning 12 months and do well. Last year however, I felt I was a good $50-75 a head back on the price for the quality that was on the table in April. Had I kept them till August, I would have pocketed at least another $300-400 a head. So this year I will take the yearlings to grass along with my fall calves and ship all the steers at once in either end of August or end of September depending on prices and grass rotation. The fall calves catch up quick, so they should go with the smaller spring yearlings and have everything sell in two groups. I don't mind shipping in the spring and leaving a couple hundred on the table for the grasser man, but I lose my cool when it is almost double that. [/QUOTE]
