Regular Sale

 

229 cattle today with a lot of buyers in the audience.  Cattle are in demand but many of the buyers are cautious because of feed and water shortages.  Everything considered, the market was very good.  36 cows in the offering with mostly feeders under 600# making up the rest.  Next Thursday, Jan 31, is the next special.  Expecting around 1,000 head.  Next cow sale is Feb. 5, 5 p.m. with numbers starting to build.
