Now this from Stockland Livestock. This is Jack McQuinness here at Stockland Livestock in Davenport. Last Monday right at 600 cattle on the market. Cows and bulls rebounded a bit, maybe a dollar or two higher especially on the better yielding higher grade cows. Most of the cow trade high 60’s low 70s. Bulls topped at 95 with most of the trade in the high 80s. Feeder cattle generally steady maybe a little bit weaker on the heavier feeders. Not enough of those for a true market test. I think if we had more numbers of any one weight or class we would be on a steady market. Next week the big dry cow special. We will have plenty of cattle and some new faces to buy them. Call us anytime at 509-535-2444. That is Stockland in Davenport. Thanks Jack. I’m Bob Hoff and that’s Washington Ag Today on Northwest Aginfo Net.
