JAN 3, 2023

Happy New Year Central Montana & Beyond!   We were back on-line Tuesday after a two-week holiday break with a good turnout of nearly 1,200 head of feeder cattle on top of 250 cows and bulls!  Market trend was certainly showing some renewed strength on the front end of the weaned calves, especially on the cattle that will go to grass!  There’s beginning to be a sense of urgency amongst those bidding in the seats, knowing that there will be less inventory to work through this winter and spring.  Heavier calves (mid-6-weights and up) caught better interest than we saw in December, although high freight and cost-of-gains are still top-of-mind on those steers and heifers too heavy for spring and summer turn-out.   Cost of feed between now and turnout time is perhaps the only thing putting any kind of restraint on the grass-cattle market, though as I mentioned, it is still very strong!  I should note, bigger packages are still commanding better attention than the smaller sorts on all weight classes. 

Slaughter cows were a little over a nickel higher than our last sale, although we will continue to wait for much positive movement in that trade.  Higher-yielding, easier fleshing cows topped at $65.25, while the bulk of those cutters and canners were in the $50-60 range.   

Next week, January 13th is another Feeder Special, then January 17th will be our Stock Cow Central January Bred Special.  We’ll have another All-Class Cattle Sale on January 24th.  Visit the website for more information.  Thanks for bringing your business our way!    - Kyle Shobe
