I only sell bull calves - weaned & preconditioned - to be picked up in October. I had "upped" my price to $1950 last year. I price them in the winter BEFORE they are born. People put in orders (1st pick, 2nd pick, etc). Normally, that's a good deal for me and great for the buyer. Last October, I sold my same age steers for $2023 (?) more $$ than the registered bulls.
So, this past winter, I priced the bull calves at $900 over October 2024 high dollar steer price. I figure a papered breeding bull sure should be worth $900 over a steer!! Still a great deal for the buyer. My problem this year, I had more bull calves sold than I had born. I guess that is kinda a good problem.
