I sent five angus cross heifers to a local feeder cattle sale in New Holland, PA last week. Two had an average weight of 850 and sold for .65 lb and three were 750 weight and sold for .63 lb. Needless to say I was less than pleased. I knew prices were lower, but I was expecting at least .85 lb. I was at a finished sale at the same place the week before and some junk cattle were bringing .80 lb for the same weight as mine. This is the last time I will send to a feeder sale as this is the second time I got screwed. Anybody else seeing these prices. Is it possible my cattle would have been over conditioned that they were docked. They looked good to me and my trucker agreed with my price expectations.
