Yesterday, Chance and I gathered our little bunch of cows, sorted off the steer calves and hauled them to the sale. We kept back one small later calf. Chance consigned them 3 weeks ago or so and I don’t know what happened, but they weren’t even on the list and were the last ones to sell. The price stayed the same thru’ the sale so that was fine but they sure got plenty of shrink on them.

Hey Mr. Dennis. What are cattle prices running in your area?? If ya don’t mind giving me a general idea.
Sometimes it’s good to be last………..the buyers are trying hard to fillloads and you get more money. More money is a good thing 😉
When you sell then do they go to slaughter, or to be grown a bit more?
Dick, they will go to either a feed lot or to a ranch to be grown larger. They usually butcher them when they weigh about 1500 pounds.
