We sold a total of 1181 head this week. 25 bulls, 123 butcher cows, 73 bred cows, 21 cw/cf pairs, 65 goats and sheep, and 874 feeder cfs.  Overall I'm going to call the market steady compared to last week. Replacement cattle were fairly steady. The top end of the cw/cf pairs around $3600.  The top end of the bred cows were $3000 with the majority in the 2200-2850 range. Butcher cows were mostly steady. #1 cows in the 153-158 range. High cow was 172. High kill bull was 190.  Feeders were about the same on lighter to medium weights with good condition, somewhat steady to a touch higher on heavier weights and steady on thin plainer calves, which made up about 40% of the calves we saw yesterday. The market felt pretty good especially on the good quality calves. There was a pretty big drop to the plainer, short, or odd calves. They were also still pretty picky as to what they considered top notch calves. Overall the market still feels strong just the time of year that things will normally get a little cheaper. Only one more sale before the two week break for Christmas and new year. Come join us next week for our Christmas celebration and toys for tots auction!!
