APR 9, 2024
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! What a tremendous shot of moisture over the weekend across much of central Montana! Some swings in temperatures may put some stress on some new babies and yearlings waiting for green grass, but the trade off is a good bit of that water going straight into the ground. Things continue to look optimistic in the markets also, in the wake of continued pressure on the futures complex. We had a lighter run of cattle this Tuesday partly due to last week’s sizeable flush, partly due to weather and roads, and partly due to the fact that inventory numbers remain down around the country. Many of the yearling-type cattle that would normally come in April are long gone - drawn out early by the high market. Slaughter cows were mostly steady this week, with a little less aggressiveness on the front end of that trade. The better end of the cows were mostly $117-128, with the lighter-leaner cows being mostly $105-115. Bulls continue to top in the mid-to-high $140’s for those hard, high-yielding kinds. We had just a light test on the feeder cattle, and just a few odd bred cows; not enough to call it a true test on that market, although interest in the country remains solid. We did sell 5 baby bottle/graft calves for between $600 and $700 each.
Next Tuesday, April 16th will be our Stock Cow Central Bred & Pair Special for April. We’ll follow that up with a Feeder Special on April 23rd. Keep an eye on the website for consignments and updates. Thank you for bringing business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
