We sold a total of 1100 head this week. 37 bulls, 156 butcher cows, 61 bred cows, 7 cw/cf pairs, 29 goats and sheep, and 804 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 $2450. The top end of the bred cows were $2700 with the majority in the 1500-1800 range. Butcher cows were pretty steady. #1 cows in the 148-154 range. High cow was 173. High kill bull was 189. Feeders were steady on lighter to medium weights with good condition, steady on heavy weights and steady on thin plainer calves, which made up about 45% of the calves we saw yesterday. Fairly aggresive market this week. 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.
