I think you're best off to sell them all at once at the salesbarn. Haul them all the day before the sale and pay the $50-$100 to overnight them and let the salebarn folks sort them into lots for the best sale price. If you sell a few every week instead of all at once, you'll end up paying more in commission/fees.
If you sell to a jockey, there's no telling if you got a fair price. At auction at least you know you got the best price the market would pay. Make sure to take copies of your vet bills. Cattle that are up on their shots and have been worked by a vet will bring considerably more.
Anyway, It sure seems like a good time to sell. I sold my calves last week and if you would have told me a couple of years ago that I would get $2/lb for a 400lb steer I would have laughed in your face.
