Sent two cull cows last week to the local sale barn. They were in decent body shape, black and BWF. Averaged 1200 lbs and $.45/lb. Should have ground them for burger, but had no freezer space.
Dave said:We had one week when the price hovered around 50 cents. It is back up to around 64. Of course I sold on the low week. I have a friend who sold on the high week. He had 5 cows all over 70 with the top being 77. He also sold a ton bull for $1.18 that week.
Brute 23 said:I sold some cows that went #1300 a couple weeks ago and got around .70 but they only had like 800 hd at the sale, total. Had a small heifer I decided not to keep so I hauled her last week. Over 1500 hd came to town and I got 1.00/ lb. The market was crap from what I heard from other people also. I could tell when I was in line people were cleaning house. Lots of odds and ends in the trailers.
We are still not out of the clear from a drought. We need more rain this month or it could get real nasty.
