JAN 4, 2022
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! A new year, a cold day and upward trending markets! That’s the report on this week’s feeder special to kick off the month of January here in the heart of Montana. We sold just over 1,000 head of cattle with 200 head of slaughter cows and the balance feeders, with the wind chill hovering around -30° all day! Steer calves leaped over $2.00 on 425-525 pounders. We had a lot of 5-weight steers in the $190’s while 6-weights topped at $179.25. We had very few heavy calves, but did weigh a few 747# steers that brought $162! Heifers had a little broader spacing on their market than the steers as buyers tended to be more selective on quality and flesh condition. One nice set of smooth-400 pounders chased all the way to $189.50. 450-550# heifers were mostly $158-183. It was a lighter run of 6-weights and higher on the heifer side, but those that were here were mostly in the $140’s and $150’s. We did catch a handful of yearling steers and heifers, highlighted by some 1192# steers that brought over $1500/head! 900# open heifers were in the $120’s. Heiferettes topped at $100.00 and cows topped in the low $60’s – signs of improvement there as we appear to have worked our way through the heavy volume at the plants.
Next Tuesday, January 11th, will be our February Stock Cow Central Bred Cow Special, featuring several outstanding consignments of young bred cows and heifers. We also expect another sizeable run of feeder cattle next week. January 18th will be another Bred Special as we roll through the month. Check our ‘Early Consignments’ page on the website for updates. All the best to you and your families in 2022! We appreciate you bringing business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
