**Weekly Cattle Market Report – Thursday, October 8th**
This week’s cattle sale traded **relatively fully steady**, considering the downward pressure we've been seeing from the CME cattle futures market.
Once again, **top-quality #1 calves remained strong**, with buyers continuing to bid aggressively on the better-quality cattle. However, cattle showing blemishes or lacking quality were discounted.
The butcher cow market remained active, with prices easing **2–4 cents per pound**, while bulls traded approximately **5 cents lower**. Despite these slight adjustments, both cows and bulls continue to trade at historically strong price levels.
**Looking ahead to next Thursday, October 15th**, we are expecting approximately **1,000–1,200 head**, including a special consignment of **60 replacement-quality Black Simmental-cross heifers from the Rawluk Ranch**.
With a strong lineup of buyers and continued demand for quality cattle, we encourage producers who are ready to market their livestock to take advantage of the current market.
