Quote of the Week: A GOOD PARD WILL RIDE WITH YOU TILL HELL PRESSES OVER, AND A LITTLE WHILE ON THE ICE.

We sold 466 head this week. Calves were $2 to $3 dollars higher, yearlings $1 to $2 higher. Pairs in fair demand, not many bred cows to offer! Weight cows $1 to $2 dollars higher, bulls $2 to $3 dollars higher.

See you next week, Sonny Shores

As of December 31, 2003, US Secretary of Agriculture announced that effectively immediately USDA will ban all downer cattle from the human food chain. In light of this announcement, effective immediately our market facility will no longer permit non-ambulatory (USDA has defined non-ambulatory as disabled and unable to stand, walk or rise on their own), or bad/cancer eye cattle to be off-loaded at our livestock market nor will they be sold for slaughter.

** ITEMS FOR SALE **
