How big are Angus cattle?

Answer 1

Angus Beef prices vary from region to region depending on a variety of factors such as weight, physical stature, appearance, age, market...etc.

With that in mind, history tells us that prices at a livestock auction range from $.95 per pound to $1.06 per pound on average. You can expect to pay on the higher end of the prices for younger, lighter cattle including steers and heifers that are around, say, 400-500 lbs and the lower end of price per pound for 1000-1200 lb finisher or feedlot steers or heifers. Heifers will bring a ;ower price than steers. Mature cows and bulls will sell for even less per pound, however if you buy registered cattle off of a ranch or farm, you might have to expect to pay a little more for them than the market prices. A dispersal sale at an auction will have variable prices depending if the farm or ranch is selling bred heifers, 3-in-1's (bred cow with calf at side), bulls, young weanling steers and heifers, dry preg cows, open cull cows or open cull heifers.
