Springer Values Continue to Struggle

Springer Values Continue to Struggle

The healthy rebound in U.S. milk prices has not yet reached the replacement market. All four reported markets nationwide saw declines in #1 Holstein springer values over the past month, from less than $100/head lower in California, to up to $600/head down in Pennsylvania. Holstein heifer calf values saw little test, and remain well below $100/head nationwide.
