DUNLAP LIVESTOCK AUCTION
701 Hwy 30 W, Dunlap, IA 51529, 712-643-5761

Sale Times for Tuesday, Apr. 29th @ 9:00 am Fed Cattle, followed by Weigh Cows & Bulls, Feeder Cattle @ 12:30pm then Bred Cows/Pairs/Breeding Bulls


Some much needed moisture this past week sure will be greening things up. Of course green grass means watch out for grass tetany. Hig Mag block/tubs should be coming out. Nothing more satisfying than getting pairs turned to grass & that should be coming soon. If you’re looking for Pairs, we should have a nice line up Wednesday May 8th. Best of luck & take it safe planting over the next few weeks!


Fed Cattle/Weigh Cows Tues. Apr. 16th:

Fed Cattle were slightly higher than the week before, demand has been great & I encourage you to try the auction method on marketing Fed Cattle. Weigh Cows/Bulls were string again. It seems like a great time to move any problem cows. Please don’t forget to get those bulls semen checked.
