Saronville NE
In my area it definetly pays to background and put some weight on them, the 7-8-and low 9 weight cattle bring just about as much per pound as the 5-6 weight cattle, everybody wants big cattle here. We been buying low 5 weights and backgrounding them to mid 8s to low 9s the last few yrs and been making some money doing it. We just sold some big steers off grass weighing 874 and got 95.50 for them and the same sale I bought some nice 570lb black steers all weaned and worked for 98 so tell me how that works out for ya, Id background em if it was me.
