Market Review - July 24, 2007 - 1190 Head
I was reading the Beef Bulletin this week regarding C.O.O.L. (Country of Origin Labeling). It made me so thankful we have started animal I.D. Starting 2008, in order to label beef with a "COOL" sticker you will need to prove where they came from. 85% of the cattle we sell are already E.I.D. identified. We can verify where they were raised and we have the vaccination records already in our computer so all customers that have been tagging their calves are way ahead of the game. The feedlots buying these cattle are really going to appreciate your effort when they start coming out of the feedlots in 2008.
As the seasonal cattle run is winding down, we still continue to have good selections of all classes of cattle here at 101 Livestock. This Tuesday we sold 1190 cattle for 70 consignors. Buyer interest and prices continued to stay strong this week with slaughter cows and bulls selling fully steady. Steer and heifer calves found a steady market, especially the EID, source verified calves with a booster shot program. Most all of the choice quality calves and yearlings went to out-of-state feedlot orders in Colorado , Nebraska , and Kansas .
Once again, most of the choice quality, and load lots of calves came from up north. The Estate of William Crayne of Tomales sent two loads of fancy Angus and Charolais X calves Tuesday to top the market. A penlot of 433# steers brought 122.00, another penlot weighing 613# sold at 110.50, steers weighing 716# brought 103.25; heavier steers weighing 784# brought 104.85. The heifer mates sold well with 433# heifers at 101.50, heifers weighing 549# brought 97.75, heavier 693# heifers at 96.10. Martin Pozzi of Valley Ford sent two loads of fancy black hided calves this week, selling a penlot of 26 steers weighing 684# at 105.50, antoher load of 48 steers weighing 791# at 103.85. The heifers weighing 725# brought 97.75; the 617# heifers brought 96.25. James Spaletta of Valley Ford sent a load of choice calves, selling his 707# heifers at 96.25; heavier 811# heifers brought 99.00. Joe Gonzales of San Jose sold his 395# steers for 116.50, the heavier 557# steers brought 108.00 and his 568# heifers brought 96.50.
Next week we have another large run of cattle already consigned; we're estimating 1200-1500 cattle
