[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1842880, member: 25884"] Took 24 head to the market today... couple steers at 670 lbs brought 2.54... 7 avg 599 and brought 2.83.... 14 avg 557 and brought 3.10... the other was a totally nut case idiot heifer... didn't stay for her... no way would she come home if she only brought $.50... but they put her in a co mingled pen of heifers so ought to do decent. Our closest market on a regular sale day...first ....anything odd like sheep or goats or pigs, which there are seldom any here.... this market discourages any "small livestock and there is a very good market for them about 40 minutes north where everyone pretty much takes their stuff anyway.... breds and cow/calf pairs first... lightweight calves, both heifers and steers/bulls... under 4 wts... then they do feeder steers, feeder bulls , then heifers, then cull cows and bulls.... There were about 1850 at the sale today... The one market north of here, that I mentioned (there are 2 in the same town).... had some black baby calves sold yesterday... talked to a guy I have known for years... and they were in the $5-700 range... said one nice one brought $900.... saw it listed today in their market report..... TOTALLY INSANE....there are alot of dairy x beef calves and some straight beef calves that get pulled off cows that get culled in the pound pen...CAN NOT justify raising them at those prices...
