calf worth?

mmidlam · Jun 25, 2015

what is a 3 month old Hereford calf worth in Michigan? I have not seen any sell for a couple of years. I have read they are at record highs.

Here is the USDA livestock markets web site. Michigan isn't listed, Where do y'all sell cattle?

They sell by the pound heifer or bull and if its a bull has it been fixed

But gold has gone from 1800 to 1200 in the past 3 years.

They are asking 600.00 for bucket calves on Craigslist.

The calf should weigh around 300 pounds so $1000.00 would be an average sale barn price.

Check Napoleon Livestock auction online. You can get a pretty good idea from there.

Yeah but that's a lot more than the $35 it was worth when I was growing up!

I paid $2.89/pound for mixed breed heifers averaging 550 pounds a couple months ago from NE Indiana.

Gold is worth the same now as it was 40 years ago, or 300 yeas ago for that matter. It is the value of the paper money that has changed.

True. It IS the standard.
