Commentary:

What a tough report to give. We are in the peak of slaughter cow runs so cows and bulls were reasonably lower two cents from before Thanksgiving.

Feeder cattle and calves were from 5-20 lower depending on quality and condition. The futures markets have been continually hammered and the storm here last week did not help buyer enthusiasm.

We accept cattle on Thursdays from 8am to 7:30pm and starting Friday at 7:00am. We will be open for business every Friday.

Any questions give us a call at 208-785-0500 or call Cole Erb at 208-680-1827.

Commentary:

Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3-5 lower.

Heavy feeders are pretty sparse as most yearlings are cleaned up, so no trend there. Calves in general are lower. In some instances ten lower. Feedlots are beginning to fill up and many people have not so fond memories of last winter. But it's still a better market than last year's.
