Market Reports

As of November 1, 2024

Butcher cows traded fully steady this week. Top cows were in the $156-165 range. Good lean cows that are suitable to go on feed bring a premium now over fat cows.  Good dairy cows traded from $135-145.  Good bulls were also fully steady this week with top bulls between $202-207. Feeder cattle traded with excellent demand on all classes. Light calves continue to sell very strong. Local buyers are now on the market and this has definitely helped the light calf prices. Volume allows buyers to put loads and pens together so moving forward we should see this market stay steady now that the fall run has started. Please remember to give us a call on marketing strategies and when to move your livestock. We are more than willing to chat about market trends and prices. 
****For our first bred cow and heifer sale on Monday November 4th at 10am.  We will have about 25-30 cows on hand including a herd reduction due to health issues of 18 big red and black Angus cows. These cows will be split between or 2 sales in November. These are middle aged cows with lots of years left. There won't be many cows for sale this fall so don't miss out on this opportunity.

Producers that leave their calves intact until spring will always be discounted for cattle that appear coarse headed or having heavy tassles that will indicate they are stags or improperly castrated. IF THEY LOOK BULLY HEADED THEY WILL BE DISCOUNTED!! CASTRATE EARLY AND PROPERLY TO AVOID BEING DISCOUNTED!! ALSO HORNED CATTLE WILL BE SORTED OFF ANY GROUPS THAT ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR EASTERN ORDERS....THESE HORNED CATTLE COULD BRING $5 LESS THAN IF THEY WERE DEHORNED.

If there is any doubt or question on how to do it properly then please contact us and we will be happy to help!!
