My best friend died at age 87. Going through his stuff I found a contract for 130 steers of his dads and his dads father in law. Check out the dates, weights, terms , and price.
Quite interesting. One year in the mid 1930's, my granddad got the outrageous price of ten cents per pound for his steer calves. My dad, being 10 or 12 years old at the time, thought that if they could just contract their calves each year for the rest of his life for that whopping good price, they would have it made.
