Now the Stockland Livestock Report.
“This is Jack McQuinness at Stockland Livestock in Davenport. 400 cattle on our market. Pretty much a steady go all around on the cows and bulls. Best of the cows into the low and mid-60s. Best of the bulls topping out at $73 here yesterday. Feeder cattle, nice run and selection of weaned calves and plenty of local action on them. Call that market steady with the highlight these 500 pound steers into the mid-40s, 5-550 weight. That will be our final sale of 2011. We are looking forward to 2012. We will have a big special on January 9th and a stock-cow and bred-heifer sale in connection with the regular sale on the 16th. That is all here at Stockland. Thanks for listening and thanks for your business.
Thanks Jack.
