Another kink is butchers are backlogged really bad, so if you can I'd suggest asking if there are buyers or something being done. My girl's show pigs are going to an auction put on by stevens co cattlemen association, they're going to have the fat stock sale as normal, but all the showing and fair itself is canceled. FFA and 4H aren't involved with the auction Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

--- Quote from: Macs B on July 06, 2020, 07:19:12 AM ---I would say that you should probably take a look at your sale results from last year, and get a good average. Our little county fair averages about 4.25 a pound for lambs, away from the auction, especially on Craigs List I wouldn't expect more than about 75% of your fair average. You could try to sale halves for a bit better percentage. Get a butcher date and deliver it yourself to the cutter, that will help your sale a lot. --- End quote --- I thought about averaging it out to last year's price ( a little over 1200 for two lambs ) but finding buyers at that price on CL here is going to be near impossible. If she could get close to the original purchase price and feed cost up till now Wife and I would be happy . |
