What have the early bull sales been like where you live? There have been some outstanding sales here in Canada and in the northern US. The early Angus sales, mostly in late December, saw averages of $7500 - $8200 on farm sales of over 100 bulls. So far, it appears many are experiencing average prices go up $2800- $3000 over last year. Really quite amazing!
Most have you have probably happened at SAV in North Dakota yesterday. I would think it was a world record event again. The sale grossed $11.6 million and saw 487 bulls average $18,440. 197 females averaged $13,370. Top bull sold for $725,000. Another at about $230,000. I heard lots of bulls selling to commercial producers at $15,000+.
Also yesterday, Soderglen in Alberta averaged $9970 on 234 bulls. I heard that most of these bulls went to commercial producers. The sale season is just starting and it looks like it is going to be one for the record books.
Of course, these are sales that do well even in poor times, but they do set the bar, so to speak. What are you hearing where you live?
