Holstein heifer prices soar to $4,250 at Minnesota auction.
High-quality Holstein springers topped the market at a stunning $4,250 per head at the Pipestone Livestock Auction in Pipestone, Minn. in late November. Prices softened a bit in California compared to last month, but still remain above $3,000 on the high end — well above the cost of production.
At the Turlock Livestock Auction Yard November 2024 Dairy Video Sale, two lots of 40 Holstein springers sold for $3,250/head, and three lots of 50 Jersey springers brought $2,475/head. Calves remain strong as well, with Holstein heifer calves fetching $250-775/head, and beef-cross calves still surpassing the $1,000/head mark in spot markets.
