MAR 26, 2024
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! A few days of winter held traffic back slightly this week, but markets continue to hold steady! We had a nice offering of feeder cattle with some good quality for the time of year. Steers were fully steady, and heifers were steady to stronger on those lighter, ideal grass-type cattle. Front-end heiferettes were steady, while the lower quality ‘ettes were slightly softer. That market has found a little more consistency over the last couple of weeks. Slaughter cows tracked along fairly steady, with a little market pressure on those lighter canner cows. The better end of the feeding type cows were in the $120’s again, as high as $129! The slaughter bull run this spring has been light, but we had a better turnout of high-yielding bulls this week; they were nearly a full nickel higher.
April 2nd is a Feeder Special, expecting over 600 head of calves and yearlings. We will also have several nice packages of later-calving bred cows on that sale. We will be selling every Tuesday through the spring! Keep an eye on the website for updates. Thank you for bringing business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
