Took 7 steers yesterday, 6 averaged 652 and brought 1.10, dont know what the other one brought yet. He was smaller and got loaded by mistake, I didnt wait around but the lighter calves were definitely down.

We are definitely not dry in this part of OK, 9 IN above normal. Spring was cold and the bermuda slow to take off though, I am pretty sure the corn prices are what is bringing the lighter feeders down. I would have kept these a little longer but I have an unexpected 9 more coming this week and I had a case of the Big Eye.SRBeef":2wgcv8tb said:hillrancher":2wgcv8tb said:you are in line with our local auction barn.

Why is that? I have heard it is extremely dry in some parts of OK. Shortage of grass? Here in WI it is going to be a shortage of hay for winter.
