[QUOTE="Hogfarmer10, post: 1748159, member: 41451"] Thanks guys. I usually sell mine in small groups too. Usually, it’s just however many I can get in my 20’ trailer. Usually I will take the steers one week and keep the heifers an extra couple weeks. But, I’m in an odd situation, where my dad has his own herd, I have my own herd, and “the farm” has the other 2 herds. I manage and do all the work, so they’re all managed the same way. My dad honestly hasn’t been in a pasture in years (disabled), but he still has his opinions. He’s of the type that he wants to retain until 850lbs or so, I’m more of the 600-700lb type. I still haven’t figured out the best timing to sell, but for some reason, the owner of the stockyard is very adamant about not selling them in October. He swears they just don’t sell as good. Any cull cattle that we have, we generally try to sell them during the first sale of the year.(if possible) Stockyard owner also swears by that, and so far, he’s been right. [/QUOTE]
