JULY 15, 2025
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! We had a standard July run this week, with a heavy dose of bulls and cows! Bull market crept higher again with the top bull bringing $211! Most hard-muscled bulls with good weigh-up landed north of the $200/cwt mark. Slaughter cows were steady with our last sale three weeks ago. Top cows bringing $160-176, lean canner cows were $142-155. We had just a light offering of feeder cattle.
Superior’s Week in the Rockies was held July 7-11 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and what a week it was! We sold nearly 320,000 head from coast to coast on an exceptional market from top to bottom. 5-wt steers out of Montana and neighboring states for fall delivery were $390 - $448. 6-wt steers, $371 - $391. 9 wt yearling steers from Montana were as high as $310.50! Montana and surrounding area heifer calves were in shorter supply, but caught good demand also – 5 wts were mostly $350 - $408. 6 wts, $332 - $340. Yearling heifers weighing in the 800# and 900# range were $297 - $311.
NO SALE July 22nd. We do invite you to the Central Montana Fair Junior Livestock Sale on Friday, July 25th starting at 4 p.m. in Lewistown. July 29th is our Early Yearling Special, and we already have several good packages of yearling steers and spayed heifers on the consignment list, with more open heifers expected as folks begin to preg-check those yearling replacements. Visit the website for more information. Thank you for bringing business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
