FEB 6, 2024
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! Strong demand and solid buyer interest prevailed this week, even with shorter numbers as we kicked off the month of February with a light run of stock and about a 50/50 mix of slaughter cows and feeder cattle. There was a slight adjustment in the live futures market to begin this week, slowing the markets' momentum some, though Tuesday's futures market closed several dollars higher. Our local market reflected this, as the feeder cattle were steady to slightly higher when comparing the same class and kind of cattle to last week. The better end of the heiferettes and program-type cows were $3-5 higher with the middle cut being consistent with last week's trade. We topped the cow market with a nice package of 1400# cows at $104.25. The front-end kind of cows were firm with the most demand being driven by cows with feeding potential. That market appears to be trending upwards, which would line up with historical expectations for the winter months. Overall, we are seeing positive markets backed by a lot of optimism within the buyers.
We are selling EVERY-OTHER-WEEK in FEBRUARY, with our next sale being a Bred Special and All-Class Cattle Sale on February 20th. Keep an eye on the website for updates. Thank you for bringing business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
