8/1/20 Special PreVac Cattle Sale Market Report
Note from the Birks
   Exceptional quality with 1100+ PreVac cattle in the offering. Many of the cattle were on some type of health program and those cattle fetched the most attractive prices of the day. Demand and price remained constant throughout the sale with lots of buyer activity. Increasing fed cattle prices have feedlots eager to fill pens and above normal moisture in the major grazing areas have those operations searching for lighter cattle suitable for grazing extra summer pasture and wheat later this fall. Overall market was $10 - $15 per hundred higher on all classes of cattle.
