Superior Week in the Rockies - July 6-10, 2026
7/13/26 - There was good buyer participation on a big run of cattle throughout the week in Steamboat Springs – over 241,000 head offered from all across the U.S. Montana calves sold Friday on softer market than Superior’s Corn Belt Classic in June. Feeder cattle futures have lost over $20/cwt since mid-June making breakevens more difficult for feeders to substantiate. The cash market was actually higher Friday, relative to these breakevens, than the June market. In other words, the futures have lost north of 5% in three weeks, the cash market only adjusted about 3-4%. It’s unrealistic to expect a market to get higher and higher without end. Cattle are still selling at RECORD prices! Compared against last year, the same calves for fall delivery were selling mostly between $400 and $700 per head more! -- Again, comparing the same cattle dollar-for-dollar, we are talking about an increase of more than 30% in some cases.
Heifers sold on a mixed market in our region (Superior’s Region 2 includes Montana, Wyoming, N & S Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado and Utah). There is demand for replacement prospects although traditionally there aren’t a lot of those offered this time of year.
The Video Royale from Winnemucca, NV is July 27-31. The Big Horn Classic is August 17-21 in Sheridan, WY. Deadline for the Big Horn sale is July 31.

LLA JULY 7, 2026
Hello Central Montana & Beyond! Nice run of cattle this week at LLA with a tally count at 331! The sale feature was a stick-out set of fall-born steers from Mark & Pam Fellows at Choteau that chased to the top of the hill and then some! 61 head of 773 pounders brought right at $400/cwt and 18 head of the younger herd mates weighed 663# and brought $443! It’s another remarkable example of the CASH market reigning supreme after a discouraging past ten days on the CME. Cows and bulls are holding relatively steady. There isn’t as much action in those markets at the moment which is mostly a product of shorter supply to build loads this time of year.
Superior’s Week in the Rockies is in full swing this week, with over 241,000 head selling. Montana calves are selling Friday – we’ll have a report out following the sale. Our schedule at LLA is this: NO SALE ON THE 14TH AND 21ST. We’ll be back on July 28th with an Early Yearling Special & All-Class Cattle Sale and we already have some dandy yearling consignments on the books! More details on the website. Thank you for bringing business our way!~Kyle Shobe
