I keep reading on here where everyone is saying don't sell this or don't sell that because prices are so low in OUR area right now
I guess I must be in the only place in the country where prices haven't tanked
I sold a few mid 6wgt heifers last month that brought a over $1.00 per lb these were hold overs that didn't fit the load earlier so by my standards not top end cattle
I can remeber just a few yrs back that if I got close to $1 I was in hog heaven, yes it isn't what we were getting a few yrs back but calves have always cycled up and down
I also sold a char X broken mouth cow this week she weighed 1270 big framed cow not butter ball fat(BCS of 3.5) for 52 cents and she went as strictly a kill cow
heck if I can get $660.40 for cull cows I think I am doing great
so are the prices really that bad everywhere else or are people just trying to sound like it is
