Runs everywhere this week were shorter, but cattle prices soared at Valley Stockyard in Moulton, Alabama!! We had 225 head plus the two loads (3-18-26).
Slaughter cattle were steady. We had high dressing slaughter cows up to $2.04 / lb.
Feeders were steady to $10+/ cwt higher.
The two loads of video steers we sold today were based at 650 lbs and brought $4.31 / lb.
We sold some really high lightweight cattle today.
One gentleman sold these groups of light calves below.
They were crossbred(Brangus) bulls and heifers straight off the cow. He was tickled to death with these figures- his cattle weighed 307 pounds and averaged $1,933 per head!
Here is a breakdown of the groups that he sold:
• 6 head of steers – 338 pounds @ $6.75 / lb
• 8 head of steers – 291 pounds @ $7.11 / lb
• 3 head of steers – 225 pounds @ $7.00 / lb
• 9 head of heifers – 357 pounds @ $5.70 / lb
• 13 head of heifers – 317 pounds @ $6.02 / lb
• 6 head of heifers – 266 pounds @ $6.00 / lb
Maybe next week the weather will be a lot prettier and we will see more cattle around.
Thanks so much for your business. If you need anything at all, give us a call!
