[QUOTE="Hasbeen, post: 277174, member: 3220"] I've asked this before and thought about it a lot, but I can't seem to figure it out. Here is the results of Tuesday's Auction at the London, Ky. sales. Feeder Steers: Feeder Heifers: Medium and Large 1: Medium and Large 1-2: 200-300 144.00 300-400 119.00-125.00 300-400 118.00-130.00 400-500 107.00-112.00 400-500 115.00-128.00 500-600 95.00-101.00 500-600 105.00-112.00 600-700 95.00- 98.00 700-800 95.00-102.00 Why does a 300 lb. calf bring 144 per cwt. yet a 800 lb'er bring only 102.00? I see this type of price difference every week and although I realize the difference in the check is almost $400 in favor of the bigger calf, I can't figure why the difference in price-per-pound is so large. Can anyone explain it so that a dummy can understand? [/QUOTE]
