[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14940"] Last week in SE Nebraska, nice bred cows (3-4 year old, bred for Feb) were selling for 32 cents a pound. Cow/calf pairs (350 lb calfs) brought about $500. Weaned calves (400 lbs) with black hides brought 70 cents a pound, while identical calves with red or cream colored hides brought less than 60 cents a pound. I bought a 4 year old Jersey cow, just fresh, for 26 cents pound, and I paid $26 for 2 one week old Jersey bull calves. A few weeks ago those little bulls would have sold for $100 each, and the Jersey cow would have brought at least $1000. Too bad I don't have the land to put them on, if I did I'd be buying cattle right now. Ann B > Look at the overall economic > picture, too.
