Well we're back and reasonably happy. Had one bunch of 30 steers averaged 658 lbs, got $143.50 /cwt for $924 per calf. 51 more at 592 lbs 143.25 /cwt for $848, and on it goes. Even sold a little late born steer calf, 310 lbs for $2.08 / lb. Open yrlgs at 938 lbs fetched 118.50 pr cwt. We were quite satisfied all in all, although it was disappointing to see our blonde x calves take a nickle less than the simmies and red angus. Some years it's like that I guess.
My cousin sold a popping set of simmie steers 738 lb average for $1059 per head ($143.50 per cwt). 'Course I don't want to calve when he calves so he's welcome to the extra $$$ for his efforts
