I missed this tread but posted live market prices for last week on beef. Pretty substantial highs and with lower cost feed also.

Same with elk hunting. You can buy a lot of beef for what it costs to shoot an elk when you're a non-resident. But, it's the thrill of the hunt that matters, I guess.

Not sure where you're at in our great state, but Ebels General Store in Falmouth has some of the best prices. Real good meat too.

$1.89 for pork (if you buy an whole hog) - This includes processing. Smoked stuff is extra

$3.99 for beef - including processing

Cool country supermarket with clothing and stuff downstairs. Also a huge hardware store with guns.

Hanging wt.?

Just bought 1/2 hog from the locker, $250 for the 1/2 and butchering included.

yes

Awesome prices

We have a short supply but it is demand that will determine how high and how long prices may be where they are at. We import a lot of feeder cattle from Canada and Mexico. Mexico alone provides over 100k of feeders per month. Tariffs will probably be very specific and not over all items. Just like they were for China, the tafiffs are on Ag equipment but not commodities.

800 bucks for a new born angus cross dairy calf in wa that got colostrum…..

Rancher, we hunted elk on this past fall in WY,sold all his calves to a buyer in MN.He said it was the first time he sold out of state.

We have larger herds that have contracts for day old wet calves up to 1K Holstein cull cows that are in good conditon are over 125 per CWT live weight. Lot of cull Holstein cows weigh from 1300-to 1800 lbs.
Helps with higher input costs and milk prices at current levels. Smallest heifer replacement herd in history and expansion is not easy now, so buying out other dairies is the common way to grow in our area.

That is what my neighbor has been doing, buying up other herds to expand.

I traded a half pig I raise for half a beef cow... I win

I talked to a producer that was a sale in Lexington Nebraska. He saw 800 pound calves sell for $2200 a piece.
I love beef. I can eat bacon, sausage, ham and pork steak but have a hard time swallowing the rest of a hog.
NE has a Hunters Helping the Hungry program. Free meat to poor people except they get EBT cards and get beef at the store. Nobody wants deer meat so I get it for free. Its there for anybody who wants it. I don't go ask for it but go thru a couple other people who arent too proud to ask for it.

We just did a whole hog. 308 pounds. $632. Thats the hog, processing, hams cured and sausage.

That’s not bad rockfarmer I’m surprised they cured the hams for that.

That's 308 pounds live weight........?

My oldest Son had his kids in 4-H and had butcher hogs for the fair every year. Always got extra pigs as some just turn out bettere than others. Two years ago he got tired of the kids not taking care of their pigs so he loaded up 6 hogs and had them all butchered and made into 100% sausage. His wife is a great cook and uses sausage for everything instead of hamburger. Now they're giving away sausage and will probably never eat sausage again.

Yeah Gary I grew up eating sausage we raised beef but ate very little as hogs were cheap and we made more on cattle, but I still love sausage, heck I’m even looking at buying some gilts to get back into the business.

I like sausage too but store sausage makes me ill just smelling it. I buy fresh ground pork from the local slaughterhouse and mix my own seasoning in. 10 x better.
