[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1680831, member: 25884"] We sold a few odd calves on Friday.... 2 steers weighed 590 brought 1.55 and 3 weighed 515 brought 1.54. One odd one 525 lbs, that did not match I brought home at 1.19.... and 2 heifers that were 485 at 1.18 came back too. Small cull cow that would not stay in the back with her 5 mo calf and it has been weaned nearly a month, only brought .50 but a month ago she would have brought .35. Some culls that were in good flesh and 12-1400 wts brought in the upper .60's and .70's. We have 2 more steers that will probably match the one I brought back but one had a runny eye and one had a snotty nose.... they can go out to grass with some odd sized heifers.... Too much talk of $8 corn... the local mill was paying 7.45 last monday.... we were going to renovate a 7-8 acre field... and put it into sorghum-sudan... but it is going into corn. If corn is high we will shell it and sell it.... if it is not high we will chop it. Had a guy buying silage this past year and wants to get it again this year.... we had more than we planned on due to someone else not taking what would have been extra, so it worked out good. We may need it to feed some weaned calves through the winter if it comes to that too... this field is over and above the 15 +/- acres we normally put out. We do it when renovating some of the hayfields back into good orchard grass as that is what sells best in sq bales around here. We mostly roll first cutting and sq 2nd and 3rd if we get it. [/QUOTE]
