SPECIAL HOLSTEIN FEEDER SALE
Butcher cows traded fully steady this week again. Good fleshed kill cows traded from $215-227. Leaner types that were sound traded from $205-242. That's $10 higher than previous weeks. Good demand on cows to feed into the spring market. Good bulls were trading pretty much steady to a top of $261.50. Despite the turbulence in the futures market the feeder cattle traded even stronger than last weeks trade. Good 500-600 lb calves traded $20 higher this week. Good groups of quality calves continue to trade strong, enduring the pressure on the market. This drop in the feeder market mirrors the drop we saw at the same time of the year as last fall. This trend was only a blip on the radar as it recovered into December and never looked back. As is typical for this time of year we are seeing calves that have lost their bloom. Calves that are still on pasture are likely having to try harder to get a good meal. The fall run is officially underway and buyers are seeing thousands of calves every week. Buyers can pick out stale, short weaned calves a mile away. If you want your calves to look bouncy and healthy at the sale, DO NOT WEAN THEM FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEN BRING THEM TO TOWN.
