Market Update 7-27-20

 

Monday’s feeder and small animal special featured near 500 head, with a good run of big fall calves and spring lambs.  Slaughter cows and bulls were stronger with good demand.  Slaughter cows averaged $.69-$.70, with a top price of $.81 cents per pound.  Slaughter bulls averaged $.93-$.95, with a top of $.98 cents per pound.  On the feeder side we’ve seen an increase in demand for bigger fall calves and yearlings, on both steers and heifers.  900 weight steers brought $1.23-$1.27, with same weight heifers bringing $1.22-$1.23.  700-800 weight steers brought $1.31-$1.37, with heifers bringing $1.25-$1.30.  On the small animal side, we saw an excellent market for light lambs and goats.  Lambs weighing 80-90 pounds brought up to $1.69 a pound, while 100 pound lambs brought north of $1.50.  Goats sold by the head, but brought on average $1.50-$2.00 per pound.  Our next cattle sale will be Monday, August 10th, and we’ll have our next small animal sale on Monday, August 24th.  If you have any questions or would like to consign, please give us a call anytime.
