AUG 29, 2023
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! 565 head of cattle as we wrapped up the month of August with a well-attended yearling special, and markets continue to be very, very strong! Steers in the high-700# range toyed with $260, while 8-weight open heifers chased as high as $227.50! 9-weight open heifers were mostly $210-220 and 1000#-plus heifers were all in the high $190’s. Slaughter cow demand backed off a bit this week on cutters and canners. Big, straight, high yielding cows still brought up to $107, which would be steady with most of the summer. High quantities of slaughter bulls are still being sold around the region, prompting a slightly lower market on that class. One would expect that we have seen the peak of that cow and bull market by now.
NO SALE Tuesday, September 5th, but we do have a Sheep, Goat & Horse Sale on Thursday, September 7th! Our Anniversary Yearling Special and annual Customer Appreciation Day is on September 12th. We’ll host a noon lunch for our customers and community! We are also proud to announce that the 2023 World Livestock Auctioneer Champion, Jacob Massey from Petersburg, Tennessee will join us as a guest auctioneer that day! Thanks for bringing your business our way! - Kyle Shobe
