head
On our sale May 13th, we had another good run of cattle for our
regular sale here at 101 Livestock. We
sold 1169 head of cattle for 69 consignors.
We called our slaughter cow and bull market steady with last week.
Most of the dry fleshier types of cows brought 52-55.00/cwt; medium flesh
cows brought 45-49.00/cwt. Bulls
sold from 58.00 to 61.00/cwt on the heavier high yielding bulls.
Demand was great for calves this week, selling fully steady with last
week’s increase in prices, going to both local and out-of-state buyers.
We had another good offering of yearling cattle this week.
The yearlings went to both
Colorado
and
Idaho
feed-yards on a fully steady market.
Topping our steer calf market this week was a load of fancy Black-Angus
steer calves consigned from Gerry
Paddock of
Carmel
Valley
. Gerry’s 477# steers brought 113.00, another penlot of heavier steers
weighing 569# brought 104.50. These
were a fancy set of steers with a great vaccination program with the 101
Livestock age and source verified program. Vince Fontana Jr. of Half Moon Bay was happy to
see his fancy Angus steers weighing 449# sell for 112.00.
His heavier 633# steers brought 104.75.
Vince’s heifer mates weighing 358# sold for 101.50; 464# heifers
brought 95.50; heavier 559# heifers sold for 92.00.
