Market reports

[BC]

Calf market was spotty here in East Texas. Better end still sold well. Lots of fat, bawling, juicy new crop calves. Order buyers were put on head limits Thursday and Friday. Many shut down for the 4th of July Friday and one company said they would crank back up on July 10. Said the customers receiving the cattle wanted to take off.

On most reports here the left number is the avg and the right number is the high. It's not a range like most people think.

considering the drought we are in for this area, we are extremely pleased. They brought money AND we don't have to feed them. Getting money from both sides is a win. (the sale and the saving)
