Superior Livestock Auction hosted their video auction live on January 5th from the Superior Livestock Auction Studio in Hudson Oaks, Texas. Cattle producers offered over 17,468 head of calves, yearlings and bred stock from 18 states for this auction. Cattle were sold on contract to deliver immediately through September 2023. Superior Livestock went live with the auction at 8 a.m. CT. The January 5th Video Auction was broadcast in HD on SLA-TV, Dish Network Ch. 997 and streamed on Superior Livestock Auction’s Click to Bid website. The first auction of 2023 was met with much anticipation and delivered a very bullish market report. Started off the new year on a strong market with aggressive bidding on all classes. Region 3/4/5/6 Feeder Steers were steady to $6 higher on lighter weights and $3 to $10 higher on heavier weights. Heifers were also steady to $5 higher on all weights. Region 1 & 2 Feeder Steers were in short supply but were met with aggressive bidding. Strong showing for Beef Dairy Crosses moving out $15 to $25 higher than our last auction. Calves from all regions were $15 to $30 higher on lighter weights as much of the country’s grazing areas have received welcomed moisture. |
Superior Livestock’s next offering is our Bellringer Video Auction on January 18-20 starting at 8 a.m. CT each day live from the Embassy Suites Northwest in Oklahoma City, OK. Featuring 143,495 head of feeders, calves and bred stock. Be sure and visit www.superiorlivestock.com to view the online auction catalog.
