I looked at the national averages for 650-700 1&2 steers and it seems like it's running about 103-106. We got a bid in this morning for 115 for backgrounded pre-conditioned calves. Is that about right for your areas for these types of calves?

I know a set of black 545 weight steers in your area three weeks ago 1.25

150 lbs lighter makes a big difference in dollars.

I wasn't trying to say you need more Dun. I just have a friend of mine that sold some for that. I thought you could kind of do the math . Sounds like a good price to me.

This is alwasy the problem with marketing.
From the MO sales report:

Compared to last week, steers under 600 lbs steady, over 600 lbs
mostly 2.00 lower, Holsteins under 500 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 higher, over 500 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower, heifers 3.00 to 5.00 higher.
