Big 2/26 Feeder Sale

[Stocker Steve]

A big run today including a lot of not consigned cattle. Some folks seem nervous due to the large drops in both common stock and commodity markets... Good 5 wts were about 10 cents back from last week. Larger scrub and mismarked color stuff was less than $1/pound. I think it was an OK market considering.

I sold some calved on grass and weaned off cow hay heifers. These sort off heifers averaged 505# for $147. Kept my fancy heifers and didn't buy anything back today. I will be taking some heifers back to grass this spring, but do not expect to make as much as Dave. ;-)

We would love to have those prices here.

I am mighty glad we contracted them when we did. 8) :cboy:

Those are the days that make me feel really good about selling last fall.

Guy with a crystal ball would have bought LRP last week.

Kill cows topped $1.07 yesterday at Kamloops on light receipts. I bought a few calves to go back in the feedlot until May. Hope to get a bunch more tomorrow before this bs about the flu bug gets over affecting the markets. Ticks me off that those who control us will use any excuse to discount us.

Must have been awful special cows. Good bulls have a hard time getting that on this side of the Rockies.

Some of them went to a local plant, some went to Cargill in Alberta.

I need to talk to B and see if we need a few more to fill that contract. Today might just be the day to buy them. The futures market is off because of the corona virus scare. I know that he is busy calving but I am going to be right next door to the sale around noon. hmmmmm

How much of a change from a week ago?

Likely 6 to 8 $. Banking there will be another crisis for the sheeple to fall for by May. If not, they will go to grass.
