Superior Livestock Auction hosted their video auction live on Feb. 8 from the Superior Livestock Auction Studio in Hudson Oaks, TX. Cattle producers offered over 52,600 head of calves, yearlings and bred stock from 29 states for this auction. Cattle were sold on contract to deliver immediately through October 2024.
A very strong buyer base opened the auction with regions 3/4/5/6/ feeder steers at levels not seen since October 2023. Most advances were on deferred deliveries coming off wheat pasture, with prices $5-12 higher than the last auction. Immediate deliveries were not as strong but still saw advances of $4-6 higher.
Feeder heifers also saw advances at $4-8 higher. Regions 1/2 feeder steers and heifers were only lightly tested but on a higher trend at an increase of $5-10. Grazing condition weaned calves from all regions were very well received with record highs on select lots of calves under 625 pounds reaching levels over $300/cwt.
Beef-dairy cross calves were in strong demand and gained back some ground from the previous auction. Bred stock was met with steady prices.
