Took some stockers yesterday, 1 limi str, 1 angus/dairy str and 2 limi bulls. Overall avg 94.50@586lb, I was really pleased but the point of the post is when the 2 limi bulls sold, they entered the price for the cattle either ahead or behind them. Instead of 94.50, they entered .50,if I hadn't been there to catch it then instead of a profit I would have been in the red really bad with no recourse. I was really surprised at the gain made by the angus/dairy str, when I brought him home I thought my wife was gonna kill me, potty and horned unlike anything I would normally buy. He avged 2lbs a day on grass only and really made a nice steer. The limi steer which I actually thought had the most potential, only 1lb, genetics can be the only explanation. The 2 bulls avged 1.5lbs. Anyway I was glad I stayed to watch them sell.
