Sales Report
Market Report for Friday, November 21,2025. We received a total of 110 bred heifers and cows and 1450 head of feeder cattle. Bred heifers sold at prices ranging from $3700 to $4125 while the cows ranged from $2850-$3750. Comparing to last month, the marked showed stability in the 500 lb steers, which were stead to $15 higher. However, the remainder of the cattle were $15-$20 softer than a month ago. The group size and overall condition of the cattle significantly impacted todays market; smaller packages and fleshier cattle were discounted. Overall, it was an exceptional sale, featuring high quality cattle. A sincere thank you to our consignors for their outstanding work they do to bring in quality cattle and to our buyers for their participation throughout the sale. We look forward to seeing you on December 19th for our next bred cow and feeder cattle sale.
