DEC 7, 2021
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! Winter weather slowed traffic down a bit this week, but we still ended up with a nice run of cattle for our feeder special on Tuesday! That calf trade continues to show momentum and optimism, as we had 600 head sell on a very aggressive market! 4-weight steers topped at $206 and we had several sorts of 5-weight steers in the $190’s, up to $195. One package of bawling steers with fall shots weighing 625# brought $172.75. Heifers closed the gap on their counterparts this week with a touch better demand on the lighter heifers. One group of 37 head weighing 460# sold for $167.50. That’s a couple dollars higher than last week and quite a little higher than what we’ve been seeing throughout the fall run. 5-weight heifer calves were mostly $145-158 and those 6-700# heifers were $140-150. Yearlings are nearly sold out around the country, but we did end up with about 50 head of steers and heifers and were reminded that that market is still plenty solid! Nine steers out of Chester almost weighed 900# and brought $160 – over $1400/head!! Cow and bull trade was fully steady with the past several weeks’ trends.
On another note, we held a rollover auction with a couple calves donated by Spring Creek Colony and King Colony, and raised over $5600 for the Denton Fire Relief Fund. We have already had several folks donate animals for next week’s sale, so we will do another rollover again at NOON on the 14th. There is currently an online auction taking place on Facebook, closing within the next week, on the “Denton Fire Relief Fund” page. We are also making plans for a large live-auction event on January 22nd, to be held at the Fairgrounds in Lewistown. We will be taking donations and farm/ranch equipment consignments for that event - check our website for more details.
We have ONE MORE SALE in 2021! Tuesday, December 14th will be a “Christmas Special,” featuring Feeder Cattle, Weigh Ups and our Stock Cow Central December Bred Special. There are some outstanding packages of bred stock stacking up for that sale. Consignment list is on the website. Thanks for bringing your business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
