Only 74 Feeder Cattle sold this week as numbers have all but dried up. The drop in the futures market has had little effect on anything green in flesh that has grass potential. Prices for grazing calves remain very strong as the rains keep coming and the grass continues its rapid growth. Buyers add to their present count trying to keep up with conditions. Prices for light weaned and thin steers with shots still can push the $2 a pound figure. Heifers of the same kind are far behind in the 140’s and 150’s. Bigger cattle and fleshier ones not suitable for grass are more closely tied to the board figures and sell for less.

We will have a cow sale on Tuesday, June 6, at 5:00 with 25 cow/calf pairs and 30 fall calving cows consigned to date. This number will grow by sale time. The next feeder special will be Thursday, June 8 and is open to all feeder cattle….no restrictions.
