Superior Livestock Auction hosted their video auction live on March 21 from the Superior Livestock Auction Studio in Hudson Oaks, TX. Cattle Producers sold 39,861 head of calves, yearlings and bred stock, totaling 331 lots from 26 states for this offering.
Strong buyer participation from hundreds of bidders throughout the auction resulted in 104 different successful buyers. Cattle were sold on contract to deliver immediately through November 2024.
Regions 3/4/5/6 feeder steers had a strong offering of those coming from wheat pasture; buyers were selective in terms of quality and condition, with deferred deliveries leading the demand at $5-7 higher. Feeder heifers from the same regions were in good demand at fully steady to $4 higher.
Regions 1/2 feeder steers and heifers had a strong showing and saw very strong demand, an increase of $8-12. Beef-on-dairy crosses were also in strong demand at $3-8 higher on all classes. Regions 1/2 weaned calves were again record-setting at levels higher than the last peak in the fall of 23.
Regions 3/4/5/6 weaned calves and calves on cows were no exception with gains $4-9 higher on grazing condition steers and heifers under 675 pounds. Lighter weights under 500 lbs. were $15-18 higher than the last test. Bred stock was also in larger supply and met with increased demand.
