Fairview Sale Barn - Slaughter Sale 6/6/2023
Fairview Sale Barn - Fairview, IL        Packer Day Breeding Stock
Tuesday, June 6, 2023
The last cow sale of the season (until fall) consisted of 15 breeding bulls,
22 pairs and 146 bred cows.
Top bull brought $3600.00 with the top end of these selling from $2300 to $3050 
The balance sold from $1800 and down.
The top pair brought $2500 with the most of the rest selling from $2050 -
2275.00
The balance of the sale was bred cows with calving dates from June to into
the fall.   A couple of packages of true fall calvers sold from $1610 to
$1650.  Summer calvers have increased in price because of the higher
slaughter cow prices.  $1800 was the top on these summer calvers. The dry
weather and shorter hay crop we are experiencing right now has caused
many to hold back on purchasing more cows.
591 slaughter cattle including 273 fed steers and heifers that sold on an 
active market! Top was 199.00 which is a new all time high at Fairview
Sale Barn!
Slaughter cows continue to sell with very good demand but not quite the
extreme prices of two weeks ago!  Cull bulls traded steady.
