I suppose I did alright I sold four calves yesterday and netted 2917.50. Two nine month old bulls and two nine month old heifers.

May I ask how you sold these for those prices? Private treaty? advertised/neighbor? Sale barn? etc? Thanks. I think several of us might like a little of that too.

There is a certified, pre-conditioned, Hereford calf sale coming up. I won't be in it this year but will be interesting to see how prices go for future planning. Was your sale something like this?

 

[bigbull338]

yes you did real good on them calves.

sure was, where did you sell em?

 

[hillsdown]

At nine months they should be around the 700 lb mark..
That is an average of 1.04 a pound..I guess prices are down a bit from Sept.

I dont think we'll get an answer.

 

[hillsdown]

I am curious as to what the weights are.

My 30 + head of steers that I sold in September ranging in between 650 and 750 lbs averaged $1.15 a pound (and that is very low compared to even three years ago). I am curious to see just how much calf prices have dropped since the financial crisis.

Now Crowder why would you think that??

Sounds a little low to me....If I remember right you raise registered show cattle so I would think you would do better than that.

Heck we sold a 6 month old bull the other day for $1500

He probably let 'em go at a sacrificial price to save moving expenses from Arizona to Kansas. You're going to be neighbors Jovid!
