[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 239419, member: 3937"] Around here there is big demand for field stone, after its picked and piled. But I mean no one will pick it off the fields. We tell them once its piled it aint doing me no harm if you want it pick it off the fields, they never do it. The cattle that sell the best up here are called fancy. Black Angus, Charolais/Angus [smokies], Charolais, Black Baldies, solid reds, Red Baldies, tans, Herefords, Grays, Rattails, Longhorns, Correntiens, Highlanders, and everyonce and a while ear. Most always in that order. Say for a 500 weight steer the price now will range from 160$ to less then 80$. Casteration, and horns wont hert much if the calf is say under 500lbs. Maybe 25 to 50$ per head. But let them get bully with sharp horns and you'll take a beating. I haven't noticed that vacinations get you a better price. I think the first thing a feedlot does when they recieve cattle is run them through the shute and vaccinate and do whatever needs to be done with the calf. Why would they take a chance? mnmt [/QUOTE]
