I sent 3 Black Angus calves to the sale yesterday.
One was pregnant and weighed 985 she sold for $850.
Heffer weighed 895 and sold for $783.
Steer weighed 895 and sold for $805.
I paid $1.53 a pound and sold for @ $.90 a pound. That means I LOST around $500 this summer after all the other costs are factored in.
The main reason cattle prices around here is the availability and cost of hay.
I'll mow the pasture myself next year.
