Sales Report
Market Report for Friday, February 20th 2026. We received 630 hd of overnight feeders and 114 bred cows. The seats were full for our bred cow and feeder cattle sale with the herd dispersal of Rachael and Dusty Ploessl cow herd and feeder cattle. There was a great show of interest in all of the Ploessl cattle and an emotional day in the seats for the family as they watched what Dusty worked so hard to build go to new homes. On the bred cow side of the sale, Bred heifers sold for $4250-$4450. Full mouth cows bred 7-8 months brought 3900-5200. Older broken mouth and smooth mouth cows brought $3600. The cows bred 70 days to 3 months bringing $2950-3750. On the 450-550 lb feeder calves, the market would be called $25-30 higher then a month ago. On the cattle weighing over 650 lbs the market was $10-15 higher. Thank you to the buyers and cosignors!!
