Gainesville Friday

Gainesville, TX — September 15 (Special) Receipts at Gainesville Livestock Market, Inc.: 2072. The cow numbers coming are still climbing. The market on the calves was steady on the hood sets that weren't overly fleshy. Some of the light calves were $5 cheaper. Even as dry as it is we're seeing some sets of calves that are extremely fleshy some of those sets would be $6-8 cheaper. The dust and dry conditions aren't going to help the calf market as we are moving into the hardest time of the year to keep them healthy. We're already having lots of death loss in the grow yards trying to start these bawling calves and that's just going to get worse. The feeder cattle were steady to $2 higher on the true yearlings and the heavy calves $3-4 cheaper. The stock cows had good demand just limited numbers of young cows. Packer cows steady to $2 higher on the high yielding cows with top cows bringing $1.30.
