Steer Feedout Signup Time

ELDON COLE

MT. VERNON, MISSOURI

   You may now register to enter 5 steers or more in the next Steer Feedout that is for calves born after July 1, 2019. Entry deadline is May 10 with actual delivery to the Joplin Regional Stockyards on June 2. After processing that day they will be delivered to a feedlot in southwest Iowa where they’ll be finished as part of the Tri-County Steer Carcass Futurity. The entry fee is $20, non-refundable. All expenses made during the feeding period will be deducted from the final sale receipts.

   If you would like to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of your steers and whether they deserve a price premium when you sell, just put them in the Feedout. ∆
