Saturday, March 27, 2014 - Regular Sale


315 cattle sold today  High fed cattle and slaughter cow prices have contributed to a huge increase in feeder prices.  Include a decrease in cattle numbers along with grass buyers coming to compete with replacement buyer and the race is on.  As long as there is no big break in the future markets, this trend should continue into the summer.

Cow sale next Tuesday, April 1, will include 20 breeding bulls, 70 cow/calf pairs and a good selection of bred cows.
