Dave’s Market Minute

This week at Cattlemen’s Livestock Market in Lakeland, Florida, we sold 309 head of cattle. The market stayed steady overall, with cows and bulls trending up to $5 higher, while calf prices held mostly steady across the board. Even though supplies were a little lighter across the state, demand stayed strong, keeping prices firm and competitive. Calves stayed consistent, while cows and bulls brought stronger money thanks to solid buyer demand.

Buyers rewarded good management and herd health with stronger prices, proving once again that investing in a solid health program pays off. Ā ā€œKeep up with minerals, salt, and shots. Give them every advantage you can,ā€ said Dave.

Thank you to all our buyers and consignors for trusting us each week.

We’ll be receiving cattle Monday & Tuesday morning — see you at the sale!

Please save the date: Our Fall Heifer & Bull Sale is on for October 31

st. We are currently taking consignments and expect a great set of replacement cattle. Whether buying or selling, we look forward to working with you. Thank you to all our buyers and sellers for making this market possible; see you next week.
