[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1718612, member: 498"] I got home before dark so I snapped a couple pictures. The first one is 7 heifers I bought today. I really wanted to get some steers but all I managed to do was run other buyers up to my limit. The second picture is previous purchases with their head in the feed bunk. I calculated things a few days ago. I had a $1.22 average into them and they averaged weighing 366. Today's calves weigh 386 and I paid $1.21 so I didn't hurt my averages. Once again I watched 350 pound steers bring well over $2.00 which is above my budget. Talked to B this morning. I mentioned seeing those light steers bring $2.19. He quickly in his head figured what you can hedge them for with a mid summer delivery. He said it comes out but you need a cost of gain under a dollar a pound.
