Are you hauling all the way to Glasgow? You getting up in my area. You get your scales working?machslammer":2hkkbbfn said:Looked like Glasgow Ky tonight was bringing better for us as well. 480 steers were 1.93 up to 700# brought 1.53. Saw some 560-570 bring 1.88. That's dang good for around here! Wish I had about 500 of them right now!
Yesterday the order buyers started off looking for the 450-500 weights and then switched over to the 300-350's. The spread between heifers and steers is really high here too. I ended up with a single 7 cwt heifer for .91 to finish out for my sisterdenvermartinfarms":1tr1kdqq said:The high spots around here are 400 to 450lb steers 2.18 to 2.30cwt and 800 to 950lb steers 1.59 to 1.68cwt. 1400$ or so for a yearling is pretty good IMO.

Tom,
Yeah man. They had to send me a new weigh indicator, and I had mounted a 4X4 on top of my weigh bars to keep it from shifting from side to side, but that was throwing the weights off. So I secured it down a bit more, removed the 4X4, and got my new indicator calibrated. All's good now. 7 month old steers weighed between 640-720 yesterday. Prob take them the beginning of next month.
We always sell at Glasgow, KY if we have big enough loads to make it worth it. Ours always brings a bit more there as well. If we have only a few odd balls we take to Albany, Ky. Farms are 20-30 minutes from there. Takes me an hour and 15 min to get to Glascow.
