[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1843306, member: 14161"] We sold every steer calf we had in 2021 for $3.85 per lb at 485 lbs on nearly 3 liner loads of calves. They were contracted privately in early February that year, 60 days before the first were born. 2022 we sold our calves on TEAM[ATTACH type="full"]41552[/ATTACH] 2023 we sold our calves on TEAM also. There were others sold higher in BC later but not many. [ATTACH type="full"]41553[/ATTACH]Unfortunately for us, we don’t have the same quality grass that the spoon fed Albertans have. We also deal with a lot of predation in summer on a big unfenced area and don’t have the inclination to calve in January to get bigger weights. We started with nothing but dreams 44 years ago and have built a very profitable operation. As I said earlier, I know a few folks that operate the same as you. Two of them inherited what they own and bi+ch about not making ends meet. As another note, I watched some Red Angus Simmental heifers sell a month ago in Kamloops. They averaged a fat 1360 lbs and a guy with a tax problem bought them all for between 3900 and 4150. You should have been there to pick them up! No one can raise that kind cheaper! [/QUOTE]
