Superior Livestock Video Auction

Superior Livestock Auction hosted its video auction live on May 14 from the Superior Livestock Auction Studio in Hudson Oaks, TX. Cattle producers sold 19,665 head of calves, yearlings and bred stock totaling 174 lots from 18 states for this offering. Strong buyer participation from several bidders throughout the auction resulted in 75 different successful buyers. Cattle were sold under contract to be delivered immediately through December 2026.

Cattle futures had been very volatile all week leading up to the May 14 video auction, and some buyer reservations were observed. Regions 3/4/5/6 feeder steers were sold at $5-7 lower. Feeder heifers from the same regions were steady to $5 lower than our last auction. Regions 1 & 2 feeders were only lightly tested at $10 lower. There was a large string of Florida calves offered and moved out at as much as $100/cwt higher than this same auction last year. The remainder of the calves from regions 3/4/6 were mainly summer delivery and were steady with the last auction.
