[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1775595, member: 12520"] Well it appears there are pockets in the US where small calves sell with the bigger ones, it’s up to the producer to know their market. I see at Tristate this week 700 lb calves outsold 500 lb calves by only about $100. In Nebraska it’s $300+ more. I’d also like to once again take the opportunity to address the myth that up north you can just turn any old cow out and she’ll bring a 700 lb calf home in the fall. These calves are the exception and not the rule. Northern grass is washy and not nearly as good as the hard grasses of places like Nebraska. Seems to me former CT member Ron (Bright Raven) raised whoppers down in Kentucky. Maybe he was just lucky but I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
