I am from Pa and so obviously not a vendor or customer. I just love your honest and none bias reporting. I want to stop in to you guys next time I come FL. God bless
We sell all types of cattle. Yes, you can buy them for either. Watch our livestream on Monday and Tuesday at noon Eastern and you'll be able to see everything that comes through our sale ring. That's the best way to gauge it. Thnx!
I want to raise black angus I have the land and fenced in electric but I’m just waitn till I have more money so I can get the best one’s available which are 750$ for a good weaned black angus in Kentucky , I have leaned the hard way not to buy the cheapest weaned calf on Craigslist … it’s like 50/50 chance with them I end up buying more medicine in start when I buy a cheaper cow because it has a cough or scours so I’m not going to buy cheap cattle any more I’m wait and im buy 3 good angus heifers either black angus or Hereford and one bull and start thare let the bull bred heifers then sell the babies each year after I wean them and turn them off to feed and grass and have them 4-500 pounds
That's a good plan. Also, it would be cheaper to talk with an order buyer that sits on a cattle auction at a livestock market every week and place an order with them. They can grade an animal in a few seconds and will buy you exactly what you want. Here at our sale barn the buyers will usually only charge $10 - $20 agent fee per head. Way cheaper than a bottle of medicine!
We may have to back to selling calves cent by the pound not by nickel cause when weighing it’s always by 5 lbs I don’t think where getting the high both ways I could be wrong just saying
This past year lots of cows and bulls (butcher animals) have come to town b/c the prices were so high for them. Some heifer retention is happening and bred heifers will be high again this year.
Negotiated Grid: A base price which is negotiated between buyer (packer) and seller (feedlot in this example); and is known at the time the deal is struck. However, the final net price will be determined by applying a series of premiums and discounts after slaughter based on carcass performance.
In this video "purchasing off grid" means the packers are having to pay what the cattle cost at the moment, in real time, or what they are actually worth for real, instead of what some AI stock market computer program has valued them at using a (math chart) grid.
The tags are free but you pay the tagging fee if done at OLM. Or take em home and do it there. You have a week to turn in the paperwork. It’s a real pain in the butt! That’s why we want to get rid of it.
Sure; and then when cattle prices are down again, and we don't increase our commission, your turn to pick up the cost? Or we could ask our cattle buyers who purchase your cattle to pay for it? Or how bout we just operate our (licensed & bonded) auction for free? We'll pay our 45 employees to process your cattle from the money we make selling hamburgers on Mondays.... Or how bout we just don't do it.
Evidently Publix's merchandise buyer didn't buy up enough meat for inventory - maybe consumer demand was higher than anticipated this buying cycle? All signs of good demand and less supply. Packers are having to buy more "negotiated cattle" (ie. not what they have in overstock anymore) because the feedlot owners aren't under the packers thumb at the moment and can ask a higher price instead of giving fed-cattle to the packer buyer at their asking price (which is under-valued)... hope that makes sense?
Cowboy ranchers appreciate you thank you sir for holding a great market may God bless you and your family. Bankers in that area help this great man if he ever needs extra money to hold market prices. Cowboy ranchers farmers feed this world one calf at a time. Again thank you sir.
I’m going to take my daughter up there so she can really see a cattle auction, and see how it all works. When she was little, she used to tell everyone she worked there. 🤣 It was so cute. Thanks Mr. Clemons for being so awesome.
