JULY 18, 2023
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! A light run of cattle this week as haying season continues in Montana, but all markets continue to hold steady across the board. Feeding and breeding cows were $105-140, slaughter cows were mostly $80-102.50, and slaughter bulls topped at $134.
Superior’s Week in the Rockies was July 10-14 in Steamboat Springs and the fall-delivery calf and yearling markets are rolling! The trend was fully steady to firm relative to the Corn Belt Classic in early June, which featured a large contingency of central Montana calves. For Region 2, consisting of Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, North and South Dakota areas, 5-weight steers last week were mostly $290-348, 6-weights mostly $275-350 with some outliers as high as $384!! 7-weight steers in our region landed $240-290. Heifers were mostly $18-30 back of their steer mates, with reasonable interest on feeder heifers and in some cases a considerable premium on heifers with potential replacement value. Weaned calves and program cattle (GAP, NHTC, Verified Natural, Age & Source Verified, etc.) were fetching very solid premiums in most cases as well. Joel and I are working on consignments for the Big Horn Classic in Sheridan, Wyoming, scheduled for August 21-25. Deadline for that sale is August 4th.
We will sell every-other-week through Labor Day here at LLA, with no sale on July 25th and our next regular cattle sale on August 1st. Check the website for updates. Thanks for bringing your business our way! - Kyle Shobe
