Due to winter storm, Winter Bred Cow Sale scheduled for Saturday, January 24, 2025 has been rescheduled for Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at 3 p.m.

Compared to last week, steers over 900 lbs sold 20.00 higher and heifers over 900 lbs sold 14.00 higher. Steers and heifers under 900 lbs sold 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Boning and Lean utility sold 5.00 higher. Due to weekend winter storm, most feeders were full and fleshy with quality under average. Good demand for heavy supply.
