[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1714185, member: 498"] Sale went well. I got $1.87 and $1.61 on steers weighing 400 and 500. Heifers the same size got $1.65 and $1.36. These are calves out of the old broken mouth cows I bought last winter. The cows killed for more than they cost putting about $100 against the feed bill. I haven't calculated the exact feed bill yet but it is about $300 a head. So about $200 against each calf. Looking like black ink when I figure the real numbers sometime this next week. The boss's calves sold real. These various mixed breed calves sold right at the top of the market. I don't know who rang the bell but these calves had to be mighty close. More char cross calves than anything else. I didn't write things down. But his little steers at 400 pounds brought $2.04. Going up by weight class they were above $1.50 until they reached 700+ pounds. I don't remember the price per pound but the reader board shows the $ per calf and they all brought over $1,000. Heifers were 10-15 cents back. [/QUOTE]
