GLAD TO REPORT THAT WE HAD A REAL SMOOTH SALE YESTERDAY. OUR NUMBERS WERE OFF FROM LAST WEEK, PARTIALLY DUE TO MOTHER’S DAY. ALSO, HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE HAD A NEW ORDER BUYER PRESENT. COMPETITION IS GOOD AND THE NEW BUYER WAS VERY INVOLVED. WE NEED TO KEEP OUR NUMBERS INCREASING IN ORDER TO CREATE MORE INTEREST. STAFF AT SOUTHEAST DID A REAL GOOD JOB KEEPING THE SALE FLOWING. AUCTION RING CREW, LADIES IN THE OFFICE AND THE FOLKS IN THE BACK, ALL DID THEIR JOB WITH MINIMUM PROBLEMS. I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR EFFORTS.
BUTCHER COWS WERE CALLED HIGHER AND THE BULLS WERE CALLED FIRMER. FEEDER STEERS WERE CALLED SLIGHTLY LOWER, WHILE HEIFERS WERE CALLED HIGHER. VERY FEW PAIRS THIS WEEK COMPARED TO 100 PAIR LAST WEEK. HAD A GOOD NUMBER OF BRED COWS WITH ONE BIG STOUT, CROSSBRED COW GETTING A BID OF $1200.00. OUR BRED COW MARKET WILL COMPARE WITH ANY OF THE SALE BARNS IN THE SOUTHEAST.
WE HAD 8 PRODUCERS BRING SETS OF QUALITY CALVES THAT WERE UNIFORM ENOUGH TO SORT AND SELL IN GROUPS. 6 OF THE 8 SETS WERE WEANED. THESE TYPE OF CATTLE SURE DRAW COMPETITION FROM THE BUYERS. PEARL RIVER, JONES, COVINGTON AND SMITH COUNTIES WERE REPRESENTED. A BIG THANK YOU TO THOSE PRODUCERS WHO TRUSTED US TO HELP MARKET THEIR CATTLE. WE OWE A THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PATRONIZE THE SOUTHEAST MS LIVESTOCK BARN.
I AM SEEING LOTS OF CATTLE-HAULING DOUBLES ON THE HIGHWAY. STARTING ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND CONTINUING FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, THERE WILL BE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF CATTLE BEING SHIPPED FROM SOUTH MISSISSIPPI. IT WOULD BE VERY INFORMATIVE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HEAD COUNT WOULD BE. I AM SURE THAT NUMBER WOULD SURPRISE EVERYONE!
CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR JOSH “BULLET” SPEED AS HE RECOVERS FROM SURGERY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO BULLET COMING BACK TO WORK. FILLING IN FOR HIM AT THE GOAT SALE, SHOWS ME HOW LITTLE I KNOW. AGAIN, I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A HARD WORKING, QUALITY GROUP OF MEN AND WOMEN AT SOUTHEAST MS LIVESTOCK. STAY SAFE AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE NEXT MONDAY!
SINCERELY,
MIKE KEENE
