Market report for Aug 28, 2021

The market is still holding due to shortages of meat and will help to keep prices up somewhat. Premium breeding stock(slick, fat) is still bringing good prices. Crowd was lighter due to covid and shows I think but people who come plan to buy if they can just find what they are looking for.

If it’s a good breed, pretty color, slick, fat it will bring top price.  People are looking for QUALITY breeding stock or good meat products.  Excellent quality replacement kids are bringing top prices.  If it is rough, not much meat on carcass or looks wormy, or a breed not meant for meat it won’t bring a good price but there is a place for those.  People want to pasture them during the summer to clean up property. But those animals bring down the averages.

The lighter weights are usually bringing the better market prices but market has softened a little on feeders now in summer. Good replacement stock is bringing good prices still.  The better they look the better the price.
