Feeder Market Comments:

All classes of feeder cattle sold well this week on limited supply

Weaned preconditioned specials are on Mondays. The cow and bull market was stronger by a bunch. We are now selling cows and bulls into a historical high market never seen before and I don’t think we have seen the high yet. I look for the cow market to a get a little higher. The only threat to a decline is the economy. Sheep and goats sold extremely well on limited numbers. Best old crop lambs 125-150 lbs 237.50-242.50. Best kid goats 75-80 lbs 3.68-4.18 lb.
