I am not in a cattle finishing area either but I do find a fat steer or two at most every sale (actually fat heifers seem to be what I find most often but they work too). Some weeks there will be none but some weeks there will be half a dozen. People raise a couple to eat and sell and their sales don't work out so they take the extra steer to the sale. They come in small enough numbers that the buyers aren't there putting together loads to ship to the plant. So I am able to buy them well under the real world fat cattle market.
