[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 686841, member: 8978"] In Alberta right now quite a few cows/calves are hitting the market. The buyers are splitting the calves off and the cows are going to slaughter. Calves 350 to 500 lb. are bringing right around $1/lb. ($.93 US), maybe a couple of cents more for really good calves. Get below 350 lb. and the price drops quite a bit. I wonder what will happen when the big calf runs come in the fall? Every man and his dog up here is either getting out or drastically reducing their herds this year...there is little feed and it is very expensive. When it costs you more to feed the cow than she is worth it just doesn't work. I suspect we will see steer calves under 80 cents($.75 US) and heifers under 70 cents($.65 US). Should be some great opportunities for the feedlots in the USA? Better get up here fast and get a great deal! [/QUOTE]
