Springing dairy heifers are bringing top prices. “This dairy deal caught fire. Weigh-up cows have been high, baby calves have been high and a lot of these dairy heifers have been bred to beef bulls and it has shortened up the heifer supply,” said Mitch Barthel, owner, Perham Stockyards and Tri-County Stockyards. “Some guys are going through an expansion and want to get their stalls full so they end up buying up for these springers. They are in short supply. Baby calves are worth a lot and the weigh-up cow prices are high, driving up the value of dairy heifers.
