Superior Livestock Auction hosted their video auction live on October 5th from the Superior Livestock Auction Studio in Hudson Oaks, Texas. Cattle producers offered 29,225 head of calves, yearlings and bred stock from 25 states for this auction. Cattle were sold on contract to deliver immediately through June 2024. Superior Livestock went live with the auction at 8 a.m. CT. The video auction was broadcast in HD on SLA-TV, Dish Network Ch. 997 and streamed on Superior Livestock Auction’s Click to Bid website.

Buyers were very selective on quality & feed condition with grazing season coming to a close. Feeder steers & heifers coming off grass were $3 to $6 higher than our last auction while those receiving grow rations were steady to $4 lower from all regions.
Region 1 & 2 weaned calves & calves on cows were in short supply but steady compared to our last auction. Region 3/4/5/6 weaned calves were in strong demand but struggled to hold a steady market even with the good moisture received over a wide area of the wheat grazing country. Buyers were very cautious with the recent struggles in the futures market.
Beef Dairy crosses also saw a weaker trend with far-out live cattle futures.
Program steers & heifers were in short supply & demanded very little premium.

Superior Livestock’s next video auction is Thursday, October 19th. Consignment deadline for the October 19th video auction is Monday, October 9th.
