Just read the sale reports from last weeks sales in Salina, St. Marys, and Manhattan, KS. A little better prices for heavier steers and cows than some of you have been reporting from your areas. The icy weather prior to and during the St. Marys and Manhattan sales evidently didn't keep the buyers away.
900-1050 lb. steers were bringing $90-92 cwt. at all three sales. They were black, bwf, herf and mixed. Color didn't seem to matter. A lot of groups of 20-60 head.
At Manhattan's monthly special cow sale, 3 groups (5 head each) of fall pairs brought $1400, 3 other groups of 5 brought $1200. Over 150 head of spring bred cows brought $1100 or better.
