Fall Cattle Sales

As we journey through the fall sale season cattle prices are at all time highs.  There has never been a more exciting time to be in the cattle business.  The sales that I have sold have been some of the best the the breeders have had to date.  The Heart of the Ozarks Angus Association had another great sale with a huge crowd, the sale averaged $3,462 on 62 lots.  At East Central Missouri Angus Association sale a high quality set of bulls and females sold to a active bidding crowd for a average of over $3,000.  This was my first year to sell the Jack Baker Angus Sale, and what a great sale the we had on a windy day in Butler, MO.  A capacity crowd packed into his sale barn and without a doubt was extremely active throughout the sale.  The 50 bulls sold for a average of $5,285, 61 female lots averaged $3,672, with a total of 111 lots sold to average $4,398.  A true highlight of my fall was serving as the Auctioneer for the Earl Weiker Estate Dispersal Sale.  With buyers from all over the United States filling the sale barn, the high quality Angus genetics were in great demand.  With over 200 lots selling the sale averaged over $4,000 per lot.
