Dave’s Market Minute
This week at Cattleman’s Livestock Market in Lakeland, we sold 510 head of cattle, and the market showed some real strength.
Looking ahead, the market appears to be fairly steady through March, with the potential to be a little higher as we move closer to spring. Overall, it is shaping up to be a good 2026 for our area. North of us, things are holding together well, but further south we are seeing frost, short grass, and hay supplies tightening.
This is the time to stay on top of cattle management. Keep protein, salt, and minerals out, and watch body condition closely. If you have bigger calves still on cows, pay extra attention so those calves are not pulling cows down.
Mark your calendar for February. The All Breed Bull Sale will be on the first Friday in February which should be the sixth. We already have strong consignments of Charolais, Angus, Brangus, Horned Hereford, Polled Hereford, and F1 Brafords. It is shaping up to be a solid sale.
As always, we thank our buyers and sellers for trusting us with your cattle. If you ever see something we can improve on, let us know. We can’t fix it if we don’t know it’s broken.
Vac Program Sales will be on the 3rd Tuesday. NOV 18TH If you plan on selling, please inform Hailey in the office so we can inform the buyers what we have coming!
