What is the price per pound for a steer
HillHound:
Yeah it’s crazy what they go for now. I remember hanging around to the end of the sale and you could pick up the scrawny ones nobody wanted for five dollars apiece. me and my brothers paid for our first vehicles raising those cheap bottle calves.
JohnVH:
4-500 for a day old seems insane, paid double that for an 1100lb steer
Caseyd:
$4lb hanging. Then cut and wrap.

maybe, or its just that overpriced. Some people are overcharging. Definitely shop around.

I think the OP was just asking what he should charge....maybe I’m not reading it right.
We haven’t seen nothing yet on high beef prices. Feedlot are buying 4,5, and 6 weight calves for over $3/lb on the hoof. Thinking of weaning mine early and sending them to the sale....
Inflation sucks, but sometimes folks forget to extend grace to the farmer and rancher when they are forced to feed their family and raise prices.
