Quote of the Week: GOOD JUDGMENT COMES EXPERIENCE, AND A LOT OF THAT COMES FROM BAD JUDGMENT.

We sold 301 head this week. Good cattle this week were steady with last week, plainer cattle remai hard to sell. Not enough bred cows for a good test, pairs still in good demand! Cows and Bulls $2 to $3 lower than a week ago.

See you next week, Sonny Shores

**We have recently been notified by the AZ Department of Agriculture that the import requirements have changed. All cattle crossing the state line must have a prior import permit (602-542-4293), livestock inspection certificate, and a health paper. If you have any questions, contact the state vet at 602-542-0960.

As per ADA: We are no longer accepting fresh brands or no brands unless inspected at point of origin. NO EXCEPTIONS! 

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 **

 

We would like to thank our buyers and consigners for their continued support.        

God Bless The Cattlemen!!
