I am selling a few 12 mo. open heifers approx. 700 lbs. and I would like to get an idea about how much they are going for at a couple of sale barns. However, would someone help clarify when you see in the following example - what factors in the classification Medium and Large 1, 2, 3?
Heifers: Medium and Large 1: 300-400 lbs 131.00-140.00, few 152.00-155.00;
400-500 lbs 121.00-131.00, few 133.00-140.00; 500-600 lbs 109.00-119.00, few
120.00-125.00, 540-595 lbs fleshy 107.00-110.00, 500-520 lb replacements
140.00-142.00; 600-700 lbs 107.00-113.00; 700-800 lbs 102.00-107.00.
Medium and Large 2: 200-300 lbs 145.00-155.00, 240 lbs thin 165.00; 300-400
lbs 129.00-139.00, individual 141.00, 300-345 lbs thin 140.00-145.00; 400-500
lbs 119.00-129.00, few 131.00-137.00; 500-600 lbs 107.00-117.00, few to 119.00;
600-700 lbs 105.00-112.00.
Medium and Large 3: 200-300 lbs 125.00-135.00, few 139.00-140.00; 400-500 lbs
110.00-121.00; 500-600 lbs 107.00-117.00.
Then later in the sale report for cows you see open replacements 78.00-89.00 CWT (below).
Replacement Cows: Medium and Large 1-2: few young 1020-1175 lb cows 2-8
months bred 76.00-90.00 CWT; few middle aged 1155-1485 lb cows 4-6 months bred
69.00-84.00 CWT; few aged 1015-1080 lb cows 6-8 months bred 55.00-65.00 CWT;
young 725-975 lb open replacements 78.00-89.00 CWT.
I would like to get an idea of where they would be classified before I make my decision to sell. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
