FEEDER CALVES AND
YEARLINGS
On both calves and yearlings, it looks like now is the time to sell for die best price; buy for the best quality.
Feeder calf sales up to now have averaged around $2 to $2 higher than last year. Choice and fandy.steers brought $26 to $29.50 at Charlottesville, the top sale so far, while choice and fancy heifers were $20 to $23. Demand is st longer this year for both steers and heifers, with heifers getting most^atfenton. Good ■ grade steers ranted $22 to $26.
Calves under 550 pounds are. preferred.
In Yearling sales, steers prices have been mostly < 19 to 22 for choice and fancy; $18 to $21 for good. And weight in an important, factor, it seems. As animals weighed in heavier, the price dropped jb»uf~50f for even added 100 pounds.
At ths point',it looks like a yearling at say 900 pounds, $20 a hundred is a better investment than a 400 pound feeder Calf at sav $26.
HOGS
Cooler weather should put a temporary brake on. the drop in hog prices which continued unavpectedly last week. Hot weather plus comparatively high retail prices had evidently slowed retail movement enough to be feh down the marketing line.
