646 HEAD YESTERDAY. WE ALWAYS WANT TO HAVE BETTER NUMBERS BUT CONSIDERING THE RAIN WE HAD, I WILL TAKE IT. WE SURE SEEMED TO HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT WEATHER OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. WE WILL BE PRAYING FOR RAIN IN THE SUMMER MONTHS IF WE HAVE OUR USUAL WEATHER.
THE MARKET WAS SURE IMPROVED YESTERDAY. REPORT SHOWS STEERS $2.00 TO $12.00 HIGHER AND HEIFERS VERY SIMILAR PATTERN. SLAUGHTER COWS WERE FIRMER AND BULLS WERE SLIGHTLY HIGHER. SOLD A BUTCHER BULL FOR $1.00 A POUND YESTERDAY. IT’S BEEN A LONG WHILE SINCE THAT HAS HAPPENED! 2085 LB. BRANGUS BULL THAT WAS CHOCK FULL OF MEAT AND MUSCLE. HAD SEVERAL COMMENTS ABOUT HOW GOOD THE BULL WAS. HAD SEVERAL SETS OF REAL NICE PAIRS AND BRED COWS AND THE FARMER TRADE ON THEM WAS VERY ACTIVE. TOP PAIR WAS $1,325 AND TOP BRED COWS WAS $1,075.
IN THE PAST WEEK, WHENEVER I COULD FIND A LITTLE TIME, WE WERE SPRAYING PASTURES. DOG FENELL “CYPRESS WEEDS” AND THISTLES ARE ALREADY APPEARING. I CAN SPRAY FOR ABOUT $10.00 AN ACRE USING GRAZON P&D AND SURFACTANT. NO REASON TO LET THE WEEDS USE UP THE HIGH DOLLAR FERTILIZER. WEED FREE PASTURES SURE ARE PLEASANT TO LOOK AT AND CAN HELP CONTAIN EYE PROBLEMS. MR. DON DAVIS TELLS ME HE CHOPS THISTLES. I’M SURE THAT WILL WORK IF YOU CAN GET THEM BEFORE THEY PRODUCE A SEED HEAD.
WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO TRUSTS US TO SELL THEIR LIVESTOCK. JUST A REMINDER – WE ARE OPEN AT 8:00 O’CLOCK ON SUNDAY MORNING AND STAY UNTIL 10.00 P.M. SUNDAY NIGHT TO TAKE IN CATTLE. GOATS, HOGS, AND SHEEP ARE RECEIVED ON SUNDAY FROM 1 P.M. UNTIL 7 P.M. WE OPEN MONDAY MORNING AT 8:00AND TAKE IN LIVESTOCK EVEN DURING THE SALE. LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN HELP IN ANY WAY.
SINCERELY,
MIKE KEENE
