AUG 1,2023
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! The cattle run is still on auto-pilot as we rolled into August with a light offering consisting of mostly cows and bulls. Cow market was a bit higher this week as numbers continue to be soft in most parts of the region. Feeding and breeding cows were $105-140, slaughter cows were mostly $95-107.50, and slaughter bulls topped at $141.50! That’s a pretty strong dollars-per-head ticket on a mature, high-yielding herd bull! We had one package of tested-open heifers; not enough to call it a test, but enough to comment that the yearling market is going to be exceptionally good! Please let us know your timing as you preg-test those heifers; we have several Yearling Specials coming up on the calendar, including our September 12th Anniversary Sale! We will sell every-other-week through Labor Day here at LLA, with our Next Feeder Special And Regular Cattle Sale on August 15th. Check the website for updates. Thanks for bringing your business our way! - Kyle Shobe
