Cow market

[Jake]

What's the cow market like in your area? what are the pairs, breds, and slaughters bringing?

 

[Brad B]

Cows are down some here from what they were mid summer. I don't have any sale reports to tell you exactly what they are bringing now, but I know they are off. I talked to a friend today that bought two good heavy bred Angus cows for less than $800 each at the salebarn last week. Those cows two months ago would have been $1000 easy.
