Featured Montana Cattle Sales
The big advertised consignments coming up at Montana sale barns and on the video auctions — and, once they sell, what they brought.
Listings as posted by the barns and video houses · checked September 27, 2026
How to read this page. “Coming up” lists featured sales and the named consignments each barn or video house has announced, in their own descriptions. After a sale, the row moves to “What they brought” with head sold and price, next to that day’s price for the same weight at the same market. Where a barn does not publish a consignor’s price, the row says so rather than estimating. For weekly prices across all Montana barns, see Montana Weekly Auction Results; for the full video record, see Montana Video Auction Trends.
