I have never sold calves before, I've always bought more to feed with mine.
I was offered $1.05 per pound for calves that ended up averaging 757# - - - all could have been registered, pre conditioned and weaned in mid November, I felt they were great looking but keep being told that "pink nosed" charolis sold at a discount.
I pushed my pencil as hard as I could and decided that I didn't need to feed calves the rest of the winter. Turned around and bought a few registered Angus hiefers for $1.00 per pound so I guess I will have to feed a few till spring.
