JULY 29, 2025
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! Higher, higher! Holy smokes, what a market for our first yearling sale of the season! We had just shy of 300 head of feeder cattle in the yards, plus another 120 head of slaughter cows and bulls this week, and EVERYTHING is holding its footing and climbing a little more every day. We sold a half-load of 840# steers for $352.25 and a few big, stout 1100 pounders for $286! The calculator smokes a little when you dollar those up! Spayed and open heifers were solid as well – 8-weights with good quality and weighing condition were mostly over the $3 mark; a light load of spayed heifers at 945# brought $287.50. The bull market crashed the $220 barrier, topping at $225.50! The good, hard and empty bulls were all over the $2 mark Tuesday. Cows were in shorter supply, but sold steady to strong with a top of $165.
NO SALE August 5th. We’ll be back on August 12th with an All-Class Sale and will expect to see more open heifers trickle in then. Our next Feeder Special is August 26th. Visit the website for more information. Thank you for bringing business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
