AUG 13, 2024
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! Just under 350 head crossing the auction block this week, with about 175 feeder cattle and the rest being cows and bulls. It’s no secret the futures market has lost substantial ground over the past two weeks, so we certainly saw a readjustment in value on yearling steers and open heifers; although open heifers across all weights still averaged almost $1,900/head! 8-and 9-weight heifers mostly ranged from $208-225/cwt. Slaughter cows and bulls were fully steady with the summer market that’s been established over the past several months – these classes of cattle are showing their isolation from the bearish board and are maintaining excellent value, with nearly 40% of the cows selling for over $2,000/head and multiple bulls bringing north of $4,000!
Keep in mind, we are every-other-week through Labor Day, with our August 27th sale being a Yearling Special and All Class Cattle & Sheep Sale! Visit the website for updates. Thank you for bringing business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
