When the bidding stopped at $1.725 per pound for the lot aver- aging 533 lbs, a fellow in the row in front of him turned around and smiled. “How do you like that?” he said. Forder, who runs about 70 cows, quickly did the math — $919 per head. The sale, which saw roughly 200 yearlings and 700 calves sold fol- lowed by butcher cows for total of 1,226 head, was the second Forder had attended this fall. It confirmed that despite a range of negative fac- tors, calf prices are holding up at decent levels for the second year in a row. “The market is strong right now,” said Forder. “BSE from 2003 to 2009 took the fun out of selling calves,” Fall calves pass through the sales ring at Heartland Livestock Services Virden during the first fall pre-sort sale of 2012. photo: Daniel Winters s ee CALF PRICES on page 6 » Growing projects nearing completion In 2012 over 4,800 acres were donated to Growing Projects for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank By Lorraine Stevenson More soybeans and corn, and of barley, 305 acres of corn, and adding that probably around co-operator staff for the first time, 150 acres of 45 acres of hay.
