DUNLAP LIVESTOCK AUCTION

Sale Times for Tuesday, Apr. 21st @ 9:00 am Fed Cattle, followed by Weigh Cows & Bulls, Feeder

Cattle @ 12:30pm then Bred Cows/Pairs/Breeding Bulls

 

The Fed Cattle market continues its strong run. The by product of that is fantastic feeder demand sending feeders to all time highs. In addition, it appears the strike may have been settled at the Greeley plant. The feeders bought last fall have huge break evens, so these prices are sure welcomed. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Bob Collins family, when Paul Harvey talked about God making a farmer, he was talking about men like Bob Collins. Rest in peace friend!

 

Fed Cattle/Weigh Cows Tues. Apr. 7th:

Fed Cattle were quite a bit stronger. Weigh Cows & Bulls are seeing huge demand. Demand for lean trim is at all time highs & supply is low. If it wasn’t for imports, Weigh Cows would all be over $2/lb!! More than ever we need mandatory country of origin labeling.
