We sold 1,045 head of cattle at our March 13, 2025 sale. As of Friday afternoon the April board for fats is $203 cwt. and March feeders are almost $282 cwt. It’s a fantastic market, hard not to wonder when the other shoe is going to drop. Feeder cattle and calf prices continue to creep up. I’ve only had one feedyard tell me they were full. The rest of who I talk to could use some cattle. Weigh cows and bulls were higher this week. I’d like to share our sale schedule here in the comments so we can help you best market your cattle this spring.
