May 1, 2026
This week’s auction had a combined volume of 732 head including 135 cows, 12 bulls and 3 goats/sheep.
While the cow and bull market mirrored last week’s steady prices, the calf market was highly competitive, with several classes posting sharp gains. Demand is extremely high on shorter numbers. We are extremely grateful for the plentiful rain.
Next weaned calf sale is August 5, 2026 Calves MUST be weaned by June 5, 2026 – call for tags
