Northern Livestock video auction held their Annual Summertime classic sale over the last 3 days offering over 167,000 head. Demand was very good throughout the 3 day sale. Offerings were heavy as many new and returning consigners were seen. Demand remained very good and very consistent throughout the long 3 day sale. Ranchers took home the highest paychecks of their lifetime as feeders pushed to buy cattle to fill pen space across the country. Tight supplies of cattle continue to drive prices higher. Higher CME feeder contracts were seen daily as contracts hit record high prices day after day. Demand for all classes of feeder cattle was good to very good across the board. Demand for heifers was very good as replacement buyers and feeder battled over limited heifer offerings. Demand for lightweight calves suitable to develop into yearlings was very good. Weaned calf prices were not as strong this sale as all cattle sold on good demand and premiums were drowned out by very good demand for all offerings. Record high prices were recorded for all classes. Yearling demand was very good, with several long strings of yearling steers selling for over $3,100 per head. The percentage of Po's was near nil this sale as buyers took advantage of record high prices. Market activity was mostly very active throughout the three day sale. Bidders were active bidding ringside, over the phone, as well as over the internet. Calves weaned over 45 days were left untagged. Most of these offerings sold for November and December delivery. Cattle tagged as Value added were enrolled in two or more programs and had to be verified by a 3rd party. The largest premiums given were for cattle sold as All Natural, NHTC and GAP combined. Current delivery cattle deliver on or before August, 6th 2025.

Where the buyers were

As USDA grouped them

Region	States
North Central	CO, IA, MT, ND, NE, SD, WY
West	AZ, CA, ID, NV, OR, UT, WA

Source: USDA AMS · Billings, MT. Prices are as filed, F.O.B. at origin, with the buyer taking freight — they are not comparable to a spot ring price and never enter a barn average. Weights are USDA’s estimates — these cattle had not been weighed when they sold. Delivery months differ between lots; a price for one month is not a price for another. Head is summed from the lots as reported.

Feeder Cattle — prices, barns, and planning

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures

Cows & Bred Stock — the rebuild market
