Hello Central Montana & Beyond!  We didn’t hear any sleigh bells, but central Montana was certainly a “winter wonderland” after mother nature dropped a heavy two-and-a-half foot blanket of snow on top on us over the weekend!  It didn’t cool off the markets at all, but it did slow down the trailer and truck traffic headed to the yards.  We ended up with just over 300 head of livestock and the quality was very good.  83 head of 550# heifers brought $332 and 5-weight steers were as high as $378!  Last week’s market was exceptionally strong on a good turnout of calves – this week’s market was equally as strong with the top end even higher!

Next Tuesday  is our Stock Cow Central January Bred Special, and we are continuing to add consignments to that list, which includes a fancy load of black baldy heifers AI’d for February 26th, all home-raised with no brands!  Heart of the Future Replacement Heifer Special is on January 28th.  Thank you for bringing business our way!  ~Kyle Shobe
