[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 638253, member: 7645"] If you think you regularly see a $100 spread between feeder cattle of the SAME gender, Frame size, weight, health, and muscle score on a sale on the same day you need to check your glasses. I have seen too many sales and I read the real price data every week when the state mails it to me. That kind of volatility rarely ever happens. To get that in a 88 cent market for 570 lb calves like we have today the top calves would have to bring $.97 and the bottom calves would have to bring $.79. IF you pay 10% more than the market avg for feeders you are going to get hammered. IF you can fill up a pot belly trailer with Med&Lrg 1 feeders for 10% less than market price you can't help but make money no matter what color they were. Last week there was only a 15 cent spread between the highest dollar Muscle score 1 heifer (.85) and the sorriest Muscle score 3 (non-Brahman) heifer (.70). [/QUOTE]
