Weaver NOV 6, 2025
Hello Central Montana and beyond! A beautiful fall day for the Weaver Ranch Annual Bred Female Sale, which featured over 650 head of bred stock with a big number of young cows in the offering. Daniel Weaver and family (Big Sandy, MT) have marketed their bred cattle with us since 2020 as they have continued to grow their program of developing young cows. Cattle were sorted into calving cycles, age and frame/flesh. March calvers caught the most amount of demand on both the cows bred black and the cows bred Hereford. Just over 200 head of March calvers averaged $4,238 with a top of $4,350! A unique set of synchronized and AI’d February-calving young cows brought $4,100 for a dandy package of 75 head. Black baldy bred heifers had a lot of interest on the top end - they were also synched and AI’d for mid-February and topped at $4,500 for a trailer load. All told, 129 heifers weighed just over 1025# and averaged $3,931. Solid mouth and short term cows held good interest also; solids brought $2950.
Interesting note - only one load of cattle headed out of state. The balance stayed in-state within an eight county area. We expect to see a lot of bred cows on the market this fall, but so far, our consignment list for upcoming sales here at LLA are largely bred heifers, older cows bred early, and mixed age cows bred late (calving date cutoffs).
Thank you to our awesome LLA crew who worked their tails off again this week, making a two-day turnaround happen. We have two nice feeder sales lined up for November 11th and 18th, and of course several bred sales to keep an eye on. The Arntzen Angus Signature Commercial Female Sale is Friday, November 14th. Our Heart of the Herd Bred Sales are on Friday, November 21st and Tuesday, November 25th. We will have our early consignment web page updated soon with more details for all of those sales!
Thanks for bringing your business our way! - Kyle Shobe
