Thursday, January 24, 2019 - Special Feeder Sale

 

858 feeder cattle were sold on another cold winter day with almost everyone complaining of ice covered lots, blowing snow and cold made for a smaller than a anticipated run and kept several buyers on the sideline!

Overall prices were steady on the long weaned, vaccinated cattle compared to our other sales this month, with the non-vaccinated unweaned feeders fetching lower prices because of the conditions. 

Another special next week weather permitting.  Please call with your feeder consignments.
