DUNLAP LIVESTOCK AUCTION

Sale Times for Tuesday, Apr. 23rd @ 9:00 am Fed Cattle, followed by Weigh Cows & Bulls, Feeder Cattle @ 12:30pm then Bred Cows/Pairs/Breeding Bulls
It’s been marvelous planting weather but I must admit I’d love it to get interrupted by a nice slow warm 3 inch rain. Just a reminder to semen check bulls. With bull prices this high, no reason to keep an unproductive one around.
Fed Cattle/Weigh Cows Tues. Apr. 9th :
The lower board would be responsible for fed cattle being called $3 lower. Weigh cows & bulls would be steady but it feels like they might fold under pressure too. The average price for a weigh bull was $165.34 with a top of $179.50. There have been a few times that bulls have been the same price as fat cattle but it hasn’t happened very often.
