Salebarn 5/25

[Caustic Burno]

Number's down this week.

Back to the farm cow's few and far in between.
A few pair's 1100 to 1350

Kill cow's and slaughter bull's down a couple dollar's a hundred.
Didn't see a cow I would bid on this week.

Calves were steady

That's about about the same as here on the trend, and the same that in the last 2 weeks I have not seen a cow or pair I would even want.

The local sales I sometimes attend will slow to a trickle now, unless it would happen to get dry this summer.
Little sale I was at today only had about 50 feeders and a dozen pairs. I might slip down to Winchester Monday afternoon if I am not too busy. I like watching the pairs and bred cows go through down there, although I think a lot of them are trader cattle.

Our market was softer than last week on calves but better than I was expecting considering the way the board cratered this week. I went to Henderson tonight for a special replacement sale. It was good but not a runaway. Some of the heavybred cattle brought too much considering they will calve in the summer. I thought some of the 4 to 5 month bred cattle were too cheap for what they were.
Top pairs brought up to $1700. Some of the older pairs and small pairs brought $1050 to $1200. I saw a fancy set of Brangus cows that were 4 year olds and were 4 and 5 months bred bring $1325.

The barn only ran 300 to 400 head through this week I wrote that off to Memorial Day weekend.
There were not many buyers there except order.

Our sale that's avg's 1400 to 2000hd only had about 800.a lot of the other buyers were not even there, and I have been reduced by some of my backgrounders on what I can buy.

Haven't things changed in the last 40 years. Sale barns used to be closed for Thanksgiving and about 10 days at Christmas. I can remember working at the old sale in Nacogdoches on July 4th back in 1975. Now it seems that everyone is wanting off several days around every holiday. A couple of the regular order buyers were out Saturday.
