Regular  Sale

 

185 cattle today along with 145 lambs for Easter.  84 males were about 1/2 bulls and 1/2 steers.  Grass weights were fairly popular with the lack of feed and slow growing season delaying the higher ties to come.  Big cattle are at the mercy of falling futures market and dropping fed cattle prices.  Easter lamb prices were very competitive with the world.
