We did well at the local sale barn today and made to the top sellers. I was surprised to see our horned steers received no dock and they didn't sort off the blue roan heifer from the group.
9 steers avg 699lbs, sold at $1.75
2 horned steers avg 630lbs sold at $1.75 per lbs
2 steers avg 587lbs sold at $1.82
1 June steer avg 485lbs sold at $2.04
10 heifers (including blue roan) avg 591lbs sold at $1.75
The youngest belted heifer avg 475lbs sold at $1.50
Black Baldy feeders still topping the sales but so are weaned/vaccinated calves. Charolais influenced feeders selling great, but straight Gelbvieh and strong Gelbvieh influenced feeders got docked harshly. Saler influenced feeders do all right. The hatred for Shorthorn feeders still strong here and received lowest price. Unweaned/unvaccinated calves got docked a little.
