| 344 slaughter cattle including 138 fed steers and heifers that sold 2.00- | ||||
| 3.00 higher with very good demand. Top was 177.00. | ||||
| The March Cow Sale was well attended and featured a consignment from | ||||
| Tolley Farms of herd bull prospects, pairs and bred cows. | ||||
| Top bull brought $5100 and they averaged $3200 on mostly yearling aged bulls. | ||||
| Their pairs topped at $3450 with several others finding new homes at $3000 | ||||
| plus. A few bred cows from Tolley's topped out at $2700. | ||||
| The balance of the sale consisted of mostly herd reductions along with a | ||||
| couple small dispersions. There were a couple groups of nice bred heifers | ||||
| that topped at $2550. The more appealing younger bred cows ranged mostly | ||||
| $1900 to $2300 with another cut of these trading $1750 and down. Older 3rd | ||||
| period cows sure sold higher than last month because of the higher | ||||
| slaughter cow market. That said, these older cows with weight sold from | ||||
| $1775 and down. | ||||
| Slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 higher and bulls sold 3.00-4.00 higher | ||||
| with several more bulls in the high yielding category than last couple | ||||
| weeks. | ||||
