[QUOTE="ksmit454, post: 1806469, member: 39792"] I really would like to sell heifer #3 and heifer #4. My main issue like you mentioned, is that I already have these beef sold for customers, so I feel as if I am scrambling to try to replace them to keep good beef supplies to my consumer. I always predict a hanging weight average from 750-850 and I know these 2 will not get to that range. I would like to sell them and replace them with some 800-900lb steers like you were saying. If you could please let me know, I would be very interested in the ones you mentioned you might have available. I’m sure my customers would be happy getting their beef earlier in October if I were able to find steers ready to begin finishing right away. They were all wormed with Safeguard Oral back in March but I will worm again with ivermectin injectable here before I begin them on grain. I think the 2 steers and #1 and #2 will do ok on feed to reach the goal to be processed last week of Dec (spoke with butcher and he said they being to open shop again in last week of December). Let me know on the steers you have that might come available, I would really appreciate that. In the mean time, I think my best bet is to sell the 2 I mentioned, and if I cannot find anything, head to the auction. [/QUOTE]
