I was at the sale today in central Oklahoma. Cow prices compared to a few months are way up. Last fall prices were low. Beef bottle calves were $150-250. Today they were 300-475. One tiny thing that looked an hour old sold for $90. Black steers 350-450 pounds in the fall were 1.40-1.70 Today were 1.80-2.20. Black heifers same weights were going for 1.05 to 1.20 in the fall today were 1.50-1.80. Even 900 pound steers today were bringing 1.20-1.50. We watched the bull sale. Poor slaughter bulls were .60. Better were .85-.90. A couple were over a dollar. Pairs were light test but were 1000 to 1400. I was pretty encouraged. I know prices have a low in the fall but prices are already higher this year than they got last year ever. I was also surprised to see so many fat calves with the weather and hay situation we had this winter. Those really over fat calves were docked at the per pound price. Also there was more people at that sale than I have ever seen there. How are things at your local sales?
