Dispersals - Mulligan

brian: Yea, I know it's a bit different this year, I was just throwing those numbers out there.
I hear you on the $120 grass cost. I was going 2/3 of the cost of a cow/calf generally for my area.
At the presort sale on monday 600 lb heifers were up a fair bit from the week before to that $1.38-1.40 range....while 600 lb. steers stayed about the same at $1.48. So your $900 figure for really good heifers is probably pretty close.
I wonder if all the interest in breeding heifers to sell is guys who have sold their cows and don't want to do cow/calf anymore?

No, $2000 isn't a pretty big premium at retail - the
professional retailers will probably be higher than
that selling commodity beef by the cut and adding
value to every little spare part. We are still essentially
giving away our livers and other organs to the
customers that want them. We are running about
615lb HCW this year, about 15lbs heavier than usual.
