what do you mean, as in a base/slaughter price or what a well trained horse should bring?

I'm thinking(now correct me if I'm wrong) when horses were being slaughtered the price was .20-.30 per pound..but its been so long since ive been to the sale barns

Used to be around $0.40/ $0.60 per lbs depending on body condition, and time of year, my understanding europe eats more over the hollidays.

I think it will take a full year to see the market come up any there are to many horses right now that should of already been sent to the packing house out there .
