Hello Central Montana & Beyond! The snow report said 25 inches over the weekend in Lewistown, which certainly was welcome, but it did slow the receipts down at the auction! We still went forward with our regular sale, featuring some nice packages of bred cows and pairs. Apex Angus sent a load of April-May calving bred cows down and they were met with excellent demand, topping at $4,600, and bringing in the mid-$4000 range for the young and middle age sorts. The Rockin L Genetics and Snowy Mountain Angus bull sale was well attended and averaged $8,240 on 44 yearling Angus bulls from J.R. and Katie Lund, and Theresa Abegglen. Sale toppers were $26,000 and $20,000. We sold 10 first-calf heifer pairs at the end of the bull sale from the Wibaux, MT area, and they brought $5,900 with March-born steer calves at side. The rest of the markets were pretty steady on a light test – heiferettes are still in good demand, cows were mostly $150-180, and bulls topped at $200/cwt!
Next week, we’ll expect a much larger turnout as the weather begins to look a lot more spring-like. Some of the bred cows that didn’t make it this week will be here on the 24th, as well as some good groups of feeder cattle. Keep an eye on the website for details! Thank you for bringing business our way! ~Kyle Shobe
