Sales for 2012 Gross Margin Dairy insurance coming up
Washington Ag Today October 11, 2011 USDA’s Risk Management Agency says the Livestock Gross Margin insurance plans for Dairy Cattle and Swine are available in all counties in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. RMA says the first sales date for the 2012 crop year will be Friday October 28th and sales will continue on the last Friday of each month until June 30th of 2012, or until the maximum underwriting capacity is reached. The LGM-Dairy provides protection against loss of gross margin, that is market value of milk minus feed costs, on milk produced from dairy cows. Livestock Gross Margin-Swine does the same for hogs. Now the Stockland Livestock Report. This is Jack McQuinness at Stockland Livestock in Davenport. Big week for us. We had two sales. Saturday our big special carload sale we had over 25-hundred and 17-hundred on the market Monday. Strong feeder sale. All weights and classes selling on a real good market. Some of these 750 pound steers as high as $1.35,$1.36. Five weight calves as high as $1.50. Better quality replacement heifers in the $1.30 to $1.35 range. We sell cattle every Monday here at Stockland. Special stock cow sale on November 5th and a small animal sale the 4th Tuesday of every month. Thanks for listening. Thanks Jack.
