The Beef Counts roll over auction that was to be held today at Toppenish Livestock Auction has been rescheduled to December 13th. The auction generates funds to Second Harvest to provide those in need with beef.
USDA’s Risk Management Agency says it is starting a pilot insurance program for camelina for 2012 but it will only be available in North Dakota and Montana.
Now this from Stockland Livestock.
This is Jack McQuinness at Stockland Livestock in Davenport. Had a nice sale here Monday. Report cows and bulls two to three and in some instances $4 higher. Feeder cattle steady to maybe a little bit stronger, especially on the heifer end. Don’t forget a big feeder sale here on the 5th and we will be back with a big stock cow and bred heifer sale on December 10th. We have a lot of good cows. Got a complete dispersion of some fall calving cows, 110 head, coming from down in Milton-Freewater, Oregon. That will all happen here at Stockland Livestock in Davenport. Thanks for listening.
Thanks Jack.
I’m Bob Hoff and that’s Washington Ag Today on Northwest Aginfo Net.
