Had around 400 last wk. I thought they brought PLENTY for the overall quality of the sale.
The trailer came home empty. I'll try again Feb 2nd.

A nice crowd gathered for the January Cow Sale that consisted of pairs and bred cows of all ages and quality!
A small consignment of A.I. bred cows were very popular and topped the sale at $2050.
A few small packages of bred heifers topped at $1625 with the bigger, growthier heifers selling from $1375 to $1625. Smaller framed heifers sold mostly from $1075 and down.
The pairs with fall born calves at side topped at $1750 with the bulk selling from $1300-$1600. Smaller and/or older cows with calves traded from $1285 and down.
The best end of the young spring calvers traded homes from $1475 to $1900. A middle cut of these 3rd periods mostly 3-5 year olds sold from $1200 to $1400. Smaller framed plainer appearing 3rd periods sold from $1150/down.
2nd period bred cows topped at $1750 with the top end selling from $1275 to $1650.
Older 2nd and 3rd period cows traded mostly from $1200 and down.
Even though the merc sold off yesterday, prices on the Fed offering traded 1.00-2.00 higher on a run of 155 head. Top was 115.75 on a package of heifers weighing 1376#.
200 slaughter cows and bulls sold firm to 2.00 higher with demand a bit better than the last several weeks.
