The bull sale joined with Turlock Livestock Market’s special cow sale which together drew a full house. Bulls sold at a very consistent basis. Strong demand for the low BEPD and carcass divisions. The lunch was provided by American AgCredit and each bull purchased received a 33 1/3 Diamond Protein and energy block courtesy of Cargill Nutrition. Cattle sold at a rapid pace. Mapes Ranch, Modesto, CA; Vargas Hay & Cattle, San Jose, CA; Harry Serafin, Hollister, CA and Sloan Cattle Co., Los Banos, CA each took five or more bulls. All bulls were sifted for soundness by Lander Vet Clinic and graded by a committee consisting of Bill Whitley, Greenfield, CA; Paul Hourett, La Grange, CA; Ralph Clark, Plymouth, CA and Dick Hubman, Central Point, OR. The sale sold the largest percentage of bulls offered as any sale this fall season. Indeed a job well done.

A very light crowd gathered on a cool, stormy day for the 2007 Western Supreme. Cattle sold to nine states. Many juniors selected heifers in hopes of winning many of the sale credits for the 2008 sale. Many good buys were made on the second half of the offering. After several hundred Angus female sold in Oregon over the past 21 days prior, it was quite evident that a saturation of the market had occurred. Cattle were presented in superb fashion and well received by those in attendance.

Buyers from eleven states aggressively took the 2007 Weaver Angus Farm offering. Strong activity on the “Missie” cow family. The cattle were well presented and the hospitality extended by the Weaver family was superb. The 2007 calves were actively received with 27 averaging over the $6,000 figure. Indeed a tremendous tribute to this super program.
