NUMBERS WERE NOT AS GOOD AS WE NEED – BUT QUALITY WAS GREAT! THE MARKET WAS MUCH IMPROVED. STEERS WERE CALLED $10.00 HIGHER AND HEIFERS WERE CALLED $7.00 HIGHER. I WISH I COULD PREDICT WHAT THE MARKET WAS GONNA DO FROM WEEK TO WEEK. ALL I CAN SAY IS WE ARE VERY THANKFUL TO HAVE A ROOMFUL OF ORDER BUYERS. BIDDING WAS VERY ACTIVE ON ALL CLASSES OF CATTLE. 560 HEAD OF CATTLE WERE BROUGHT IN BY PRODUCERS. IF WE CAN GET THAT NUMBER UP TO AROUND 700, WE WILL CONTINUE TO ATTRACT MORE AND MORE BUYERS.
GROUP CATTLE CONTINUED TO SHINE, WITH ONE SET OF STEERS WEIGHING 690# BRINGING $130.50. T-3 BRANGUS HAD WEANED THIS EXCELLENT SET OF STEERS AND THEY HAD 2 ROUNDS OF SHOTS. WE HAD OTHER GROUPS OF QUALITY CALVES THAT WE SORTED AND SOLD. REGULAR RUN TAGGED CALVES WERE ALSO HIGHER BASED ON QUALITY AND KIND.
BUTCHER COWS WERE JUST A TOUCH HIGHER AND BULLS WERE CALLED STEADY. MR. HOUSTON JONES FROM COVINGTON COUNTY BROUGHT IN A HECK OF A SET OF PAIRS. WHEN YOU AVERAGE $1,462 PER PAIR, YOU KNOW THEY ARE GOOD! I DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO VISIT WITH MR. JONES, BUT I WISH I COULD HAVE. HE HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF RAISING THESE CATTLE. I PROMISE A LOT OF GOOD MANAGEMENT AND TOP GENETICS WENT INTO THIS SET OF CATTLE. IT IS GREAT TO KNOW AND REALIZE WHAT A GROUP OF GOOD PRODUCERS WE HAVE IN OUR AREA.
I’M GOING TO LOOK AT A HERD OF CROSSBRED COWS IN THE MORNING. SHOULD BE CLOSE TO 60 HEAD OF THEM. BE SURE AND CHECK OUR FACEBOOK PAGE AND WEBSITE FOR UPDATES. “GOOGLE” SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI LIVESTOCK AND WATCH FOR WHAT WE HAVE COMMITTED, WEEK TO WEEK. BE CAREFUL AND WATCH THE WEATHER IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. HOPEFULLY, ALL WE WILL GET IS SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND NEVER HESITATE TO CALL WITH QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS.
COMING MONDAY, JUNE 8TH – 90 CROSSBRED PAIRS, ALL FROM ONE FARM, CLEAN IN THE PASTURE. MAKE PLANS TO JOIN US!
SINCERELY
