[QUOTE="Hillary_Indiana, post: 37537, member: 521"] OK, pricing practices at the stockyard are confusing me. Sometimes they auction by the $/LB. sometimes $/100 LBS. how do they decide which method they're going to use? ok, so say i want to buy a cross-bred steer calf. What would be the prices I am looking at for different ages? i.e.) ave. price for a 1 week old ave. price for a 1 month old, 2 mo, 3, mo, 5 mo? i'm just inexperienced and dont want to get ripped off. Is snotty nose always a bad sign??? Seems like about half of them have runny noses. Not too awful bad... but I was told to look for that. Would it be worth my money to buy a holstein calf for butcher beef? can you buy a holstein calf and not milk it period if you want to? would this be un-economical??? Thanks Hillary [/QUOTE]
