Now the report from Stockland Livestock.

“This is Jack McQuinness with Stockland Livestock here in Davenport. 415 cattle on the market here Monday. Good strong sale on cows and bulls. Call that market fully steady. $77 top on the weigh up cows. Bulls topped about the same. Didn’t have a very good selection of bulls. Gonna call that market steady on a limited test. All classes of feeder cattle steady to strong. Futures higher to start off. Fat cattle indicate they are going to be higher all week long. Working on a very strong market. Big special next week. Over 500 on the books. Expecting twelve to 15-hundred head for our sale on the 7th. That is all here at Stockland Livestock here in Davenport. Call us anytime or visit our website StocklandLivestock.com

Thanks Jack.
