We sold a total of 1074 head this week. 21 bulls, 85 butcher cows, 139 bred cows, 161 cw/cf pairs, 74 goats and sheep, and 593 feeder cfs.  Overall I'm going to call the market mixed compared to last week. Replacement cattle were steady and stayed strong although quality was off from last week. The top end of the cw/cf pairs around 6400.  The top end of the bred cows were $3450 with the majority in the 2700-3100 range. Butcher cows were better. #1 cows in the 192-197 range. High cow was 206.  High kill bull was 238.  Feeders were steady t0 a touch cheaper on lighter to medium weights with good condition, steady on heavier weights and cheaper on thin plainer calves, which made up about 40% of the calves we saw yesterday. The market still felt strong on the good quality calves.  There was a bigger difference in the plainer, short, or odd calves.  Overall, I felt like the market was a little less aggresive on the feeders.
