Herreid Livestock Auction owner Kent Fjeldheim is seeing the rush of grass cattle move through the sale barn. “We’ve been having about 3,000 a week since August, but this week we saw 5,000 head move through.” Fjeldheim says with buyers starting to purchase 600–700-pound calves to feed, the inflow of feeders could stay steady for a while. Prices and demand have stayed strong with a lot of feeders bringing $2.45 to $2.65 a pound.
