Carthage - Joplin Regional Stockyards
Cow and Bull Auction Close for 11/18/09
Receipts: 725 Last Week: 1647 Last Year: 1300
Compared to last week, a much lighter test of slaughter cows and bulls sold
2.00-3.00 higher. Cool and wet conditions in the Four State Area for several
days resulted in curbed receipts, with buyers fairly active and pushing to make
loads. Bred cows were in short supply with most being sold in single head lots
or small packages with very few uniform groups to test the market. Note: Joplin
Regional Stockyards will host a Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Sale this
Friday evening November 20th at 6 p.m.
