Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Special bred cow, heifer and cow/calf pair auction this week. Good demand for this nice offering of very attractive replacement stock. The market was active as the grass is green and growing cattle producers are eager to own stock so they can sell a calf this fall. Majority of cows and heifers were black hided. Next sale will be Friday May 10, 2024 and will be a special feeder cattle auction.
