[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1401388, member: 22295"] The prices have been all over the board here so still too early too tell. The sale a person misses is usually the one he should of been at. Saw one last week that averaged over $5,300 on 80 plus Angus bulls. The majority of the good ones above 6. Four of the 6 I picked went $9,500 and above. I can't pencil in a bull at 6 and above and make him work. If we were buying several I might be 1-2 there and average him out but when you only need 1-2 bulls it is hard to do. Will try to attend a sale this Saturday. They are all yearlings so will be interesting. Then the RA Brown ranch is having their spring sale down the road from the lady I help next week. This is the first sale here so will be interesting what they do. Sure a lot of outside bidders will influence this sale. I'm busy now so don't plan on attending it. So after the next two weeks we should have a better idea. In private sales a few PB breeders have adjusted their prices down. But most have only lowered the bottom end they should of been steers anyway. I've also noticed that the 2 y/o bulls seem to be strong. Even seeing a drop off on 18 month old bulls. Many breeders bought yearling bulls when there was a shortage and now want the older bulls again and are willing to pay extra for the age. I've seen up to $3,000 difference in the same genetics and quality. [/QUOTE]
