Folks in the south east traditionally wean on the way to the sale. It takes a while and some effort to get the calves back to growing. Mortality is also higher.Calhoun Farm":3kfpj47d said:What factors drive prices higher for the midwest compared to the east? Just closer to feed lots?
There was some at 285lbs bring 2.79 at a sale here yesterday. 4wts up to 2.52, 5wts up to 2.27.Calhoun Farm":1sj80fjq said:$3.00 is getting close around here. 200-249 bull sold for $2.77 at Athens yesterday.
If there gonna be 2.55 at 425lbs that may not be out of line.js1234":xkjpgzrq said:Top quality 285lbs. steers have been bringing over $3 for the last 30 days here.
What are 6wt bulls bring there now? About 1.70$ and up here.jasonleonard":njsr803z said:Our local pool is loading a pot in the morning. 8 wt steers picked up here... $154.
Makes the load bring us $77000. I had bought some of these as 6 wt cutting bulls (last fall) for $110.
Well, I guess you can still buy calves to feed then.jasonleonard":3ofegt9j said:Denver, 6wt bulls could probably be bought for $1.50 right now. Maybe higher if they are not bull headed or don't show much age.
