Now the Stockland Livestock Report. This is Jack McQuiness here at Stockland Livestock in Davenport. We ended up with 600 cattle at our sale Monday. Cows and bulls fully steady. Bulls got into the mid-90s for the top on those. And a pretty good selection of bulls. Feeder cattle two to three lower. Limited test on large numbers of feeder cattle. National market calling that trend two to three lower. Next week a big special, big dry cow special. We have lots of activities going on around here. Joe Goggins and Ty Thompson will be here with Northern Livestock Video. Ty is the world champion auctioneer. He will be selling cattle here next week. Expecting a big run of cows and bulls and a strong market. Thanks for listening. Stockland Livestock here in Davenport. Thanks Jack. I’m Bob Hoff and that’s Washington Ag Today on Northwest Aginfo Net.
