The calves in the feedyard have grown very well due to the mild winter this year, resulting in the heavier ones needing to be marketed. New owners need to have them 100+ days to be profitable and that is how long it will be to harvest. They were sold on video at a break in the live auction at Torrington on Wednesday past. The market is down about $100 a head from what we had anticipated so only the biggest 65 steers and 70 heifers were put up. This is a photo of the auction ring, our steers are on the screen above the auction block--you could have watched the auction on your computer as well. The remainder of the calves will be sold in a month when hopefully the market will rebound. We will load out at 7 am in the morning.
