Lots of changes happening at Southeast MS Livestock. The Board of Directors hired Justin Green as the next manager at SE MS Livestock. I let the Board know several months ago that July 1st would be my last day. This will be my 3rd retirement and hopefully it will stick. I have enjoyed my time here and plan to help out any way I am needed. Justin has already started and we are available to help any way needed.
The bigger news is that our office manager, Sherry Graham is leaving July 1st also. Ms. Sherry has been at Southeast MS Livestock for 40+ years. She has served as office manager for 20 years. Make no mistake – Sherry is the backbone here at the stockyard. She is the brains and the glue that holds this place together. I appreciate everything she has done for me over the past 4 years. Loyal, hardworking, and dedicated are just a few of the words that fit her.
Very small sale yesterday. Easter Sunday had a lot of people involved with church and family, as it should! Not much of a drive-up trade on Monday and that was disappointing. We certainly need our producers bringing us livestock in order to keep our order buyers. We had a few strings of bull/steer calves bring between $1,200 and $1,500, right off the cow. We had a fairly active pair trade and good young pairs are still bringing over $2,000. Bred cows are also in high demand. Butcher cows and bulls were steady to a couple dollars lower.
The Brahman Sale will be hosted on April 13th. F-1’s will sell starting at 11:00 A.M. and the registered cattle will start at 1:00 P.M. If you are looking to put some ear in your cattle, come look at the selection. Lunch will be available.
Stay safe and I look forward to seeing you Monday.
Sincerely,
Mike Keene
