Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - Packer Day
Slaughter steers & heifers sold mostly
steady with last week's market. Heifers led the way with the top end
selling from 150.00 to 151.00.
The cull cow trade remains very active with some premium grading cows as
high as 125.25. Over 100 cows topped the 100.00 market. Bull top was
125.25.
160 cattle were in the special cow sale. This was a good number for the
time of year as most pastures are full and established. Breeding bulls
easily found homes, pairs were pretty average in quality, but sold well
and the later calving cows although a little short on quality and
condition had plenty of takers. Lack of rain resulting in slow growing
grass and the time of year were big factors in cow prices today.
Breeding Bulls - 8 head - $1800-$3500
Cow/Calf Pairs - 42 - averaged $2265 with a $2650 top
Bred Cows averaged $1800 topping at $2,000
