I have not sold any longhorn cattle at a local livestock sale, but I was talking with the man I work for and told him that longhorn cattle will be docked if sold through one of the local sale barns (West-TX, Clifton-TX, Meridian-TX, etc).
Can anyone give me some rough numbers on how much a longhorn steer/heifer might get docked? For example, if a 500# steer possibly brought $1.15 as indicated below, what would you think a 500# longhorn steer would bring at the same sale?
