[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1743471, member: 40587"] Back in the 70's when only steers could be imported, and team roping was hot, roping steers were about $450 each. One the 80'sw hit and you could import bulls and cows, and people started breeding them here, they got cheaper. Lots of times in any of the last 4 decades, you could buy roping steers for as little as $250. In the 90's, when team penning became the hot ticket in the us, and they started USTRA numbered ropings etc., and it got to where you had to have better, rodeo- quality, high-dollar horses to team rope. I started breeding half of my 300 head Criolo herd to Angus or Brangus. These were ideal calves for penning/sorting. Uniform size and color, and very fast with a lot of endurance. Of course, a lot of people quit breeding pb Corrs once they got to $250, so there just aren't as many as there was in the 80's and 90's. Right now, we are getting $350-$375 for fresh steers ready to rope. These are going to be yearlings or older. But, you can breed the Corr cow to a brangus or angus bulls, and wean a 500 lb calf at 6 mos, that will bring what any other black, polled Angus cross calf is bringing that day. [/QUOTE]
