Fall sale schedule for tomorrow at the West Auction Barn, West, Texas which is about 12-15 miles north of Waco on Interstate 35. I beleive the catalog said they had about 20+ registered bulls, 35 registered cattle and over 400 good commercial already consigned.

Bought 4 bred commercial heifers BB...only gave $850 for them. Prices were wayyyyy down. I missed the early part of the sale but if the top cows sold no better than the others I'd say that all sellers were very disappointed.

sounds like you stole 4 good bred heifers.

Those prices look comparable to a sale I saw on the internet yesterday from Enid, OK. Unfortunately, reality has set in and people have just about figured out that calf prices are capped at what an $85 per cwt fat cattle market will bear. It doesn't matter what it costs us to raise a calf, the final product (fat cattle) is going to sell for around $85 per cwt. live weight give or take $3 per cwt.
