SEPT 26, 2023
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! We eased into the calf run this week at LLA and that market is off to a roaring start! We sold right at 500 head of stock, with about 150 calves and 200 yearlings, and all markets were fully steady! Light calves took off like a shot, with 3-weight steers topping at $387.50 and 4-weights at $347! Heifer calves trailed the steers by a sizeable gap but still brought excellent money, with 3-weights topping at $337 and 4-weights at $293. It’s an incredible jump from the light calf market 12 months ago! Just a light test on yearling steers Tuesday, but everything fully steady on that class. Heifers weighing 7-800# were in good supply and in good demand, bringing $227-246.75. Slaughter cows and bulls continue to hang in there, as volume holds steady heading into preg-check season. The better end of those cows still bringing in the $90’s and the best bulls in the $120’s!
We’ll have Feeder Specials every Tuesday in October, with our Red-Hide Special on October 24th. We expect another good turnout of yearlings and calves next Tuesday. Remember our Sheep, Goat and Horse sale scheduled for Thursday, October 5th! Thank you for bringing business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
