Fall Calf Run in Full Swing

Napoleon Livestock co-owner Jim Bitz says feeder cattle numbers remain steady. “The calf market’s good, though it did take a little dip from where we hit our all-time record high maybe a month or so ago, anywhere from $250 to $400 a head better than last year, so people are very satisfied.” Yearlings are holding their prices well. “We’re selling a lot of pregnancy checked, open heifers here. I don’t think that market slipped much at all.”
