Butcher cows continue to break all kinds of record highs these days. Cows were stronger again this week with good kill cows bringing $225-235. Cows that were still sound and appropriate to go back with a bull were bringing $235-255. Heiferettes traded right up to $3. Dairy cows were in the $180-195 range. Good bulls were abundant this week. Bulls also hit all time highs in price. Top kill bulls weighing 22-2600 were in the $255-266 range. Feeder cattle traded with excellent demand once again this week. Most classes were fully steady to $10 higher again this week. There are very few cattle left out in the country to be acquired prior to grass season. Anyone who has fought off the urge to sell their cattle thus far, will be very well rewarded for having patience and riding out the storm of the trade war. All classes of cattle traded $10-20 higher than what we've seen over the last few weeks.
****There will not be a sale May 9th due to the majority of the buyers will be at the LMAC Auctioneering Championship that day in Virden.
