This week’s cattle sale saw lighter deliveries of yearlings; however, the quality was no different from our previous sale.
We had two excellent strings of home-raised yearlings on offer, and both sold well beyond expectations, with prices in some cases reaching as much as **25 cents per pound higher than surrounding markets**.
Our full front row of buyers was once again on hand and bidding very aggressively on all classes of cattle. Demand was strong right through the offering, with even the medium-cut cattle selling exceptionally well.
We also had a sprinkling of spring calves on offer. Overall, they traded on an average market, with some of the very light steer calves reaching into the **$8.00/lb range**.
The yearling market continues to show excellent strength, and with our full lineup of buyers actively competing, quality cattle are being very well rewarded.
**If you’re looking to market cattle in the near future and take advantage of the strong market we’re seeing at this time of year, give Myles, Luke, Kolton or Kim a call to discuss your cattle and upcoming sale opportunities.**
