Yesterday I was at Mobridge Livestock as we had several customers sell. Once I remembered to, I took a couple photos.
The market was stronger yesterday and the barn was full of buyers. It was nice to see.
This load of steers weighed 649 lbs and they got $103/cwt
This guy had a half a load and a neighbor had a half a load of the same type, so they weighed them and sold them together to form 1 load. They weighed 592lbs and they got $105.75/cwt
Once again, the buyers were really after the 6 weight or higher calves. The demand wasn't there for the calves that were under 550 lbs, as lots of 520 lbs calves were in the $105 to 107/cwt range.
