There was a large run last Saturday of about 1050 head. I brought in a trailer load and stayed till the bitter end. Comparing groups of the same quality:
Blacks had a $100/head premium over reds.
Bwf had a $67/head premium over blacks.
Not enough rwf to test the market.
March/April calvers had a $112/head premium over May/June calvers.
Largest kill cow was 2,142# for $0.69
There was a shortage of buyers towards the end so I trailered 3 red/rwf May/June calvers to help support the market. When I asked the wife to come out and help run them through the chute she said at least I don't chase other women...
