Lower feed cost's.Weather is starting to level with less change so there are more buyers for the small generally un weaned calves. And i think a pretty bright market ahead of us.Stocker Steve":3mvc46g2 said:denvermartinfarms":3mvc46g2 said:Now this week 300lb steers are up to 2.05 and at 400 they are into the 1.80s. some nice 250lb weaned black steers brought 2.35.
What is driving this market?
If they are good i know where you could sell them 2 loads for a profit of about 20$ a hundred. But that ain't nothing to what you going to make time they get to 800 or 850.I have slowed way down the last two weeks, every time the owner of the salebarn sets a calf in at about 1.85 this one loud mouth buyer bumps them to atleast 2.00.Stocker Steve":2hc7v2uk said:Seems like cow prices have come down here but calf prices have been up. They have been close to $2 all the way up to 400#. Caught a good sale last week and purchased 2 trailer loads averaging 311# for $1.86.
