I was at the sale…the whole sale…whew! Gabel had a heifer bring $9750 (first one in the sale). Rest of his pen brought $2,600 and $3K. Sidwell had some 338 weight fall born heifers that brought $1300 – $2000. They had a pen of 460 weight fall born steers that brought $1300 - $5000 . They had pen of 5 (340 weight) fall born steers @ $1100 - 4500. Allowed to sell your alternate as well. Reed Chase had pen of 766 weight steers bring $5500 x2 , 5250 and 2250. Behmer had a steer bring $4,500 (866 weight ave pen weight). 38 total pens. By about halfway of the sale they were really struggling to keep the sale prices from driving off a cliff, but they did.
No sale detailed report available. NWSS does a sale report on their website, but it is NOT comprehensive. I do not know the breeding of anything that sold. The Maine Sale gets an overflow crowd. That sale started with about 2/3 of capacity and by the end of the sale there were about 30-40 people left. I had not been to that sale in 25+ years, too many other ways to sell your club calves now than in past years.
