western iowa,by Denison | choice down $2.25 at $211.81 with cash equal to $134.50 -Brother had a bid of $95 on his fats yesterday and passed-Iowa trade yesterday at $97 to $98.
Top feeders-Kimball South Dakota, one draft-576 head @943#at $128.25-
Quote from my local sale barn at Denison Iowa on the hogs-"Big Boars-free! Light boars-Just about Free!"
"Butchers-Top $22 -Who cares!"
I'm out of my corn futures as of yesterday-was long Dec corn and with the last couple days of rain things look fantastic.
Loss of a nickel looked like a good move to get out-hopefully there is better markets around the corner-
We will finish up are feed bunk addition today and then start hauling manure out of the bedding barns .
The addition will have a xtra 120ft of bunk-putting the barn at 280ft of total bunk space-of 2ft of bunk per head
had gotten tight at 140 head on 160ft of bunk-has been interesting watching the pecking order of the steers when they eat-
the addition well also allow us to put a pen of 40 head or so if we need to with a simple garden hose and tank-we like to do that when buying gooseneck loads in the winter to hold them separate a few weeks,
with the gates on the end and addition it added 2000 sq feet to the pen-
Adam built the gates Yesterday and has a 24ft end panel with 2 swinging 11ft gates-hopefully I can have pictures tomorrow.
