Friday, September 6th Combo Feeder Market Report
Results from our Customer Appreciation Holstein/Beef Combination Feeder Cattle Sale Friday, September 6th.
Here this past Friday we had a good run selling approximately 1840 head (740 head of Hol, 1100 Head of Beef) on a market that was slightly weaker to weaker on all classes of livestock.
High quality Holsteins were still in demand, while Holsteins of thinner flesh and quality were a tougher sell. This time of year it is especially important to keep the grain to the Holsteins to keep a desirable flesh on them till you market them.
We had a good run of Beef Cattle with a fairly large run of yearlings off grass. Still very strong demand on the quality cattle carrying light flesh and were properly handled. The market was not very comparable to the yearlings early due to the back up of fats and the deterioration of the CME Board.
A Big THANK YOU goes out to the Grant CO Cattlemen who gave up their busy day to grill steaks for our customers. Also a Big Thanks to the buyers, sellers and our hard working employees that work so hard each and every sale!
Keep checking our website for www.bloomingtonlivestock.com for updated information. Thank you again to all our sellers and buyers who make our sales successful.
