[QUOTE="BRG, post: 702181, member: 2397"] For somereason that 100 lbs mark is the magic weight. So if you are selling in Dec, they better be that or some just won't look at them. It is funny becasue then the same people want those 1100 lbs cows, that just doesn't happen. Last year we got $1210 for our hundred head and we could have just kept selling as 1 guy took them all and their were 1/2 dozen more sitting there wanting them. We get calls all the time looking for good Red Angus bred and open heifers. Last fall lots and lots of black heifers sold from $950 to $1100. I am sure their were some that got $1200, but the majority was in the other area. Now the downside as a buyer, Red Angus replacement heifers are bringing a hefty premium as well. They will bring steer price or more, some as much as $15/cwt more than their steer mates. (Reputation cattle) Their will be quite a few replacment quality Red Angus heifers in Mobridge Livestock on the 8th and 15th of Oct. We will be their if you want some, as we buy quite a few for people, as long as they are our customers calves selling, and nearly all of them will be. [/QUOTE]
