[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1672295, member: 38101"] Groups of heifers over 25 here yesterday same owner. Dollar/hd 592 lbs - 1154 631 lbs - 1303 692 lbs - 1335 $181 for 100lbs. I'm pretty sure my cost of gain was .75/lb in my ration software so a good investment to feed here, not very good there. Dave, what's a finished animal worth there live? It's interesting the slide seems to have them at a steady value/hd, it must be jumping at some point, feedlots/packers up to no good? Ours is usually a steady progression unless the market is moving. Strange thing I saw yesterday was light calves under 500 were cheap (barely broke $900 on average for the whole sale) and suddenly they're paying more than they have been for the heavier calves. We're getting closer and close to grass, seems to make very little sense. [/QUOTE]
