We sold a total of 933 head this week. 24 bulls, 68 butcher cows,140 bred cows, 31 cw/cf pairs, 14 goats and sheep, and 624 feeder cfs. Overall I'm going to call the market steady. Replacement cattle were steady considering quality. The top end of the cw/cf pairs around $3450. The top end of the bred cows were $2700 with the majority in the 1400-1700 range. Butcher cows were pretty steady. #1 cows in the 145-152 range. High cow was 173. High kill bull was 194. Feeders were steady on lighter to medium weights with good condition, steady on heavy weights and maybe a little cheaper on thin plainer calves, which made up about 45% of the calves we saw yesterday. Still a good market on bigger steers. Overall the market on all calves is very strong although there is still a difference in the lower quality calves.
