[QUOTE="BC, post: 564647, member: 67"] I sold my yearling heifers yesterday that I put together late in December and the first week of sales in January. They averaged weighing 468 lbs and cost $92.67 delivered to the house including all the shots. There was less than 100 lb spread at the beginning. Spot weighed several head two weeks ago late in the afternoon taking the biggest and a the lightest heifers and some in between. Spread was from 915 to 730 lbs averaging just under 800 on the ones I weighed. These cattle were being put with two other producers cattle to make a truckload. Base price was $97.50 for 725 lb heifers with a 4 cent slide. Pay weight on my heifers was 768, 43 lbs lbs over the base weight. 725 lbs @$97.50 would be $706.87 per head. My heifers paid on 768 lbs @$95.78 which was $735.59. That is $28.72 more in my pocket than the base weight would have been. The heifers should have been sold in June, but I had plenty of grass and there weren't any others to ready to go at the time. [/QUOTE]
