FEB 7, 2023
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! We held our annual Heart of the Future Bred & Replacement Heifers Sale this week, along with a feeder special and ended up with over 1000 head of calves! Bred Heifers caught fire, with the top group calving in late-February bringing $2,200, and a full load of single-cycle March calvers bringing $2,010! Several packages of replacement heifer calves brought $1,400/head, with good demand even on lighter replacement-type cattle. The feeder market has suddenly moved to a new threshold, with both steers and heifers topping January markets by leaps and bounds. Grass-weight cattle are in exceptionally high demand, as the light of spring is becoming visible through the winter tunnel. Slaughter cows and bulls were higher again. I’ve said it before, at the root of that slaughter market, it’s basic economics – supply and demand, and demand is currently out-pacing supply. It’s as simple as that.
We’ll have an All-Class Cattle Sale next Tuesday, February 14th, then will have our February Stock Cow Central Bred Cow Special on February 21st. Keep an eye on the website for updates. Thanks for bringing your business our way! - Kyle Shobe
