Market Update 04/15/2024
Monday’s feeder special featured a good mix of calves and a strong run of cull cows and bulls. Slaughter cows were $10 lower overall, though there were still a few cows topping $145.00. Cows averaged $115.00-$128.00, with a top price of $145.00. Slaughter bulls brought $136.00-$145.00 at the top, and averaged $123.00 to $129.00. Just a few older cow calf pairs brought $1950-$2000, while young bred cows $2100-$2475. Feeder cattle were mixed to stronger, with a premium for weaned and vaccinated calves, as seen in the spread between top prices and averages. 400-500 weight steers brought up to $310.00, and averaged $267.45 across the board. Same weight heifers topped at $272.50, and averaged $228.14. 500-600 weight steers sold for $290.00 at the high, and averaged $272.15, while heifers brought up to $280.00 and averaged $254.96. 600-700 weight steers went up to $277.00 and averaged $255.67. 700-800 weight steers brought $252.50 at the high, and averaged $226.56, while heifers brought up to $229.00 and averaged $207.16. Next Monday, April 22nd, we’ll have an all class cattle sale, and our next feeder sale will be Monday, April 29th. If you have any questions or would like to consign, please give us a call anytime.
