3/7

[Caustic Burno]

Bet there wasn't a 100 head through the barn today.
Only two or three back to the farm buyers.
Prices were pretty good on some 3 n 1's today 2500 to 2900.
Just too wet for most people to get in and work cattle.

Everyone here is waiting for markets in the southeast to pick up. Myself included. There was less than a hundred last week

80 at our yard this week. Sky high to, or so my Dad said. Wish I had got tough, and took a load off.

100--Including steers and calves?

I figured the weather would really mess up sales this week. Pretty wet out his way along with snow, sleet and a blowing wind...most probably stayed inside.

Yep

Our local sale barn hasn't has a sale in two maybe three weeks due to the weather.

Athens only had a few head over 200 on Friday. There were 164 preconditioned calves at Van Zandt Livestock (Wills Point, TX) and 130 head in regular sale on Saturday. It is plenty wet here, even the sand hills are squishy wet.

1 yard opened and they gave the cows away.. the other opened and they were going for record prices.

Receipts were 944, including 244 packer cows, bred cows and pairs, 700 yearlings and calves. Packer cows were $4-$8 higher. Packer bulls were $5-$10 higher. Market on replacement cows and pairs were steady on a light test. Market on steers and heifers weighing 500# and under were steady with very active bidding. Feeder steers and heifers weighing over 500# were steady to last week’s high market. The market was higher on all classes of cattle.
