I'm skeptical that he got that price for an 1100lb holstein cross. He did sell at the high point of the market but even still I don't believe it. Right now a finished steer sold to a packer would bring $2.30 per lb. I don't remember exactly what the high was about 2 months ago, maybe $2.50 or $2.60. so say a finished steer weighs 1300lbs at $2.50. that is $3250.
Well I guess I could be wrong. After I posted this I looked at archived sale reports from Napoleon livestock. back in Oct 1000+ lb steers brought good money.
