[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1178377, member: 17767"] Amen!!! I would love to know more about cattle markets. The results can be confounding. Here is a puzzle I frequently have experienced: I get just as much from feeders that don't fit the "cattle judging" criteria I see so many CT users get wrapped up in. I understand that a big butt, correct angle to hock, etc. have their place but not in the Stockyard feeder sales. My friend Fire Sweep Ranch has assisted me a great deal in making decisions about what to look for in growing my herd but when I sell a feeder, the ones that are compact with good thickness and depth do not sell for anymore than the tall lanky guys. For example, the two I sold Monday: The one that was built the best by those criteria sold for 3 pennies less that the Casper sired calf that was tall and lanky with a lot of leg. [/QUOTE]
