Market report for week ending February, 12, 2010

The slaughter market weakened slightly this week maybe due to increased numbers at all markets, these numbers should decrease as we get closer to calving.  The yearling and calf market was very strong this week and we had good numbers to test the system. Very strong buyer demand so if you have any to market please call us!
