April Was A Record Setting Month For Feeder Cattle Sales
April wrapped up the month with tremendous action for many weight classes. 7 weight steers in particular surged in the month of April posting the second highest weighted average in US history at $399.87 – just shy of the $404.68 mark set earlier in the month. The all time top ten 7 weight steer weighted averages continue to be dominated by recent trade. April alone accounted for 7 of those top averages, with February holding the other three. That kind of concentration shows how quickly this market has accelerated through the spring, with multiple sessions pushing into record territory in only a matter of weeks.
Atkinson Livestock Market (Atkinson, NE) hosted a Special Feeder Calf Auction on Tuesday, April 28th that delivered exceptional results, setting 17 steer records and establishing new all-time highs across multiple weight classes. A group of 40 head averaging 335 lbs brought $702.50, marking a new barn record for 3 weights and the first 10-head-plus sale ever over $700. In the 4-weight category, 28 head at 408 lbs sold for $611.00, a new record and only the second sale over $600 in barn history. Six-weight steers also set new highs, with 600–602 lb cattle bringing $497.00 and $482.50.
The momentum continued with 40 head of 716 lb steers at $453.00, a new barn record and the third highest 7-weight price in U.S. history. Heavier cattle followed suit, as 54 head of 904 lb steers sold for $364.50, the first 9-weight sale over $360 and a new barn record, while 1,015 lb steers reached $326.00, the third highest 10-weight price in barn history and the highest since October. It was a standout day in Atkinson, Nebraska.
