Quality livestock is bringing a good price. Sickly, old stock has fallen. We are coming into the holiday seasons. My 3 bigger buyers were complaining they are having trouble getting enough stock to fill their orders. So demand has been up and will be up probably the next 2 sales is my guess with the upcoming holidays. But my guess is about as good as the weathermen. I have buyers who buy feeders, and 1 who buys everything. He buys to sell to 2 packers at least, 1 dog food factory, feeders, and persons looking for a special something. Then we have people looking for certain items- maybe a replacement billy or something special. I was told by a speaker at a seminar one time that what you raise in goats there is a demand for from the new babies to an old stinky billy. Also works for sheep.
