This last weekend we had 100+ items in consignment sale including 7 round bales of grass hay, hens, roosters, ducks, and rabbits. 200 head in livestock sale. Mediums size crowd. I don’t even know who was playing on TV or when Sat. Some new people some selling, some buying, staying for both sales. Prices dropped this sale. There is a Mexican holiday coming up in about 17 days but this weekend may have been too early for that because prices declined a little. We had some nice Jacob sheep- Their horn pattern are so different always create some interest when we have them. But most stock just average or below. Had some heavy bred hair sheep- people moving and going out of business. Pygmies or minature goats were down except for babies. They have more fluctuation than the other animals and don’t know why. Good breeding stock is still bringing better prices than for meat animals. Sickly, old and skinny are bringing very little. Again good, fat, slick animals and skinny, scruffy animals are way apart on prices as you can see on market summary report. People think there is lots of hay in OK and there is right now but a lot is going to TX to keep animals alive down there. There may not be a lot when it comes fall.
