Grass cattle are starting to trickle into sale barns. If it wasn’t for this past week’s rain, Hub City Livestock Auction owner Steve Hellwig said there would be a lot more cattle moving. “We had a couple hundred off grass and were on the verge of moving more, but thankfully we got rain.” Hellwig is expecting numbers of grass cattle to increase until September when the feeder calves start moving. According to Hellwig, the market for grass cattle is very good. “I think we’ve seen the highs on the bigger 1,000 pound cattle, but the 600-to-700 pound. cattle continue to get higher.”
