[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1776043, member: 1715"] Early this fall light heifers sold with male calves at some sales and sold with about a U$S 25 discount at others. I don't think the bigger grow yards were in the market yet. Heifers can be a sucker play. Heifer discount also seems to be a bit regional. I asked Aaron about it. The party line there is high feed costs make (lower rate of gain) heifers even less economical. I think it also gets into how/if you charge yardage. Some focus on $ per head and don't charge yardage. I cannot afford to feed 5 or 6 wt. feeder heifers but may buy some 7 wts. in late winter... [/QUOTE]
