[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 30243, member: 220"] I hear you, CRR. Last sale I saw a pair split and sold separately because they couldn't get a bid for $350.00 for them as a pair. Mind you, the cow was a bit worked up, but she was middle aged and the calf was fat and healthy. In the end she sold for 17.00cwt and the calf sold for $100.00. The top price for pairs that day was $860.00 for some great first calf pairs - the heiferrettes and their calves were excellent quality and in suberb flesh. Made me shake my head, as I'd paid $700.00 for similar quality bred heifers last fall and then had to feed them for the winter. It really would not be an exaggeration to say there is little if no profit in cattle in Canada at this juncture. At least not for the producer. Hang in there and best wishes from BC. [/QUOTE]
