[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1140560, member: 9096"] Just got the sale barn flyer.. Butcher bulls are going at about 1.25, butcher cows at 1.05 AVERAGE!... some butcher bulls brought 1.35 for 2100 lb'ers. We sold our GV bull this spring for more than we paid for him 5 years ago as a 2 year old breeding bull. I found if a cow breeds back well for the first 5 years, she'll probably keep doing it... I had my old cow Rosie go from a May 5th (2011) calf (Cenci, my meatwagon heifer) to Mar 25th 2012... And that was when she was 16, I kept her for one more calf and that one was born Mar 24 (2013). Older cows are underrated, a GOOD older cow can give you several quality calves without any wait time.. She's got a calf on her, and *should* have another coming... She'll give you a paycheck this fall and next fall, while if you retain a heifer calf you don't get a paycheck for 2 years after weaning! With the markets the way they are, I think the price is about right. The question is whether it's the right time to buy! [/QUOTE]
