Carthage-Joplin Regional Stockyards
Cow and Bull Auction 2/20/2019

Receipts:   412   Last Week:   479   Last Year:   375

   Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows and slaughter bulls sold
steady to 1.00 lower. The offering included a moderate supply of bred
cows and a very light supply of cow/calf pairs. Conditions around lots
and barns continue to be very wet and muddy with more rain in the
forecast for the weekend. Supply was light and demand good for slaughter
classes.

***Note: JRS will hold their next replacement cow and bull sale Saturday
March 3rd.***
