Sold 1 steer as fine as you can grow. 680 @ $1.41. Satisfied but not as much as I once would have been.

Calves sold at Capitol Land and Livestock (Schwertner's). I think its much better than the auction. Just load up the calves, drive 20 miles, weigh and get an offer. Get paid 20 minutes later. Couple years ago dad took a load of calves to Milano auction and a load of calves to Schwertner's. Price was pretty much identical when transportation and fees were included.

I want some of those also. Lots of KY and VA the snow is still too deep to get any hauled.

I still want some. If I could buy them for that I could rent a D8 to pull them out and still make money.

mt sterling. I looked at the sales report and it said up to 1.86. Complete BS. I watched 300 sell (all really good lookin cattle btw).. quite a few lightweights. I saw a few go for 1.58, but none higher. awful lot going for 1.20 - 1.40.. I was pretty surprised. I saw an extremely good looking charolais go for 1.20 and any "fat" 4 weights where around the same price.

All were bwf bull calves except 1 was all black. They are out of a registered angus bull on hereford/brangus cows. They seemed to be pretty average except the all black one seemed to be a little thicker.

They were all born late around July so I figured I'd hold on to em till spring maybe keep em as long as i had grass and theyd eat for free but a buddy of mine who is a full time rancher for a living said he'd sell em now before prices got any lower and not have to hay em the rest of the winter.
