FAT CATTLE & WEIGH COWS on May 12th: 
USDA called our fat cattle market steady. It had a nicer feel. I'm still holding my breath but I feel we might work a little higher soon. Weigh cow market was stronger as packers appeared very short bought.

  As a new service to our non preconditioned feeder calf sellers we  have a new downloadable form called the VIP form, which is a vaccination information program form. This is "not mandatory".  
Its an option to help you identify to us the vaccination information about your calves and yearlings. We are not requiring anything; just 
trying to do our best to market your livestock 
the best way possible with any and all information available. 

You can download the form by clicking here: 
VIP FORM, and then you can fill it out and either 
fax it to us, send with the trucker or bring it along with you when you come to the sale. Again this is 
not required and this form does not replace the Precondition certificate issued by the vets on 
green tagged cattle, this is just a new service 
offered to those producers wishing to let us know what kind of vaccinations their calves have had.
