Current Market Report

January 7, 2025

Hello Central Montana & Beyond!  The New Year’s ball dropped in New York and it’s like the cattle market did the complete opposite, rocketing skyward as the calendar turned to 2025!  Our New Year’s Feeder Special featured about 700 head of calves, with a few being held back due to some winter weather the day ahead of the sale.  Nonetheless, those that did make it set the world on fire!  In many cases, these cattle advanced $20-30/cwt since our last feeder sale in December, and we thought the market was hot then!!  Over half of the steer calves on consignment weighed in the 600-700# range and were as high as $331.50!  5-weight steers topped at $373 and 4-weights topped over $400/cwt!  A high percentage of the heifer calves offered weighed in the 5’s, and they chased as high as $335 on some smooth 500-pounders from Arntzen Angus!  A few bred cows turned out and a nice little package of 3-and-4-year-olds calving March and April brought $3,050 – that market shows no signs of weakening. 

Our next bred cow sale is set for January 21st.  We are already adding consignments to that list, which includes a fancy load of black baldy heifers AI’d for February 26th, all home-raised with no brands!  We’ll have another Feeder Special on January 14th, and our Heart of the Future Replacement Heifer Special is on January 28thThank you for bringing business our way!  ~Kyle Shobe
