FEB 18, 2025
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! Wind chill was -35° mid-morning and warmed up to -25° by sale time, but the weather did not negatively affect the market one bit! Our sale feature was a nice set of 3-6 year old bred cows calving mid-March, and they caught excellent demand landing from $3,175 to $3,225 on 85 head. Slaughter and feeding cows continue to find solid footing with most of the upper-end cows bringing $135 – 145 with a few bumping $150/cwt. We had our first test of fresh wet-bag heiferettes this week, and that market looks to be shooting higher this season. Even the heavier ette’s were at or over the $200/cwt mark.
We are on our modified winter schedule – NO SALE FEBRUARY 25TH! We’ll return on March 4th with a Feeder Special and will feature some replacement heifers on that sale. Please visit our website for updates. Thank you for bringing business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
