[QUOTE="BC, post: 444387, member: 67"] Right now I see $5 to $7 and occassionally $10 per cwt difference between steers and bulls over 500 lbs. at the sales I go to. The discount is more pronounced this time of year as sickness from the stress of marketing is higher. As the the question of why heifers are docked more than than bulls or steers, it is because of two things 1) lower dressing percentage when slaughtered and 2) lower A.D.G. in feed yard. [/QUOTE]
