Gary, there is no finished cattle market here that I am aware of. If there is, it's probably a deal between the cattleman and the buyer. I haven't been to a sale since Oct 12 and prices have been dropping some since then. At that sale large bred cows were bring .$75 to $1.00 a pound and there weren't many of them. 540 lb. steers around $1.50. Below 500 lbs around $1.75. Not too many of them, most producers don't make steers and they bring about the same amount.One 1600 pound bull brought $.74., but there were very few bulls sold.
Bull story: I had posted earlier about someone's bull getting out of the stockyards just after one of my cousins had hauled him for a neighbor. I had been curious about what happened to the bull and finally cousin talked to bull owner and got part of the rest of the story. Bull owner had been trying to get him sold for a long time before they finally caught him. Owner estimated the weight at over 2000 pounds, cousin was doubtful. Anyway, stockyard estimated weight at 1900 lbs.and paid owner $1.50 per pound, saying when they caught him they could settle up if need be. Latest word is that bull has been located in someone's pasture but they haven't been able to catch it. Glad he's not in my pasture.
