[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1364314, member: 25884"] Sat at the stockyards for 3 hours yesterday to watch steers sell. They didn't start til 3:45 pm instead of the usual 2pm because of so many in line waiting to unload. Anyway, the avg price on holstein steers was $.70 to $. 80 any size from 350 to 700 lbs. The beef steers were in the $1.15 to $1.45 range for anything up to 550-600 then they dropped a little after that. I did not stay and watch the heavier calves or the heifers or the pound /cull cows or slaughter bulls because I had gotten up at 1:00 a m to go test a dairy herd that thinks 2:15 is morning and a good time to start milking. There were some that were probably angus/hol cross that barely brought $1.00, but for the most part they were in the $1.20-$1.30 range on the 4-5wts and the real nice ones were in the $1.30 - $1.45 range. A little better than I was seeing from the previous 2 weeks. At $1.25 a 5wt steer is only bringing $625 and that is not alot when you figure what it costs to keep the brood cow and all the other related expenses. Still that's better than 500.... will be interesting to see what the heifers brought. I was just getting too tired after being up so long that I had to come home and crash. [/QUOTE]
