CLARA LIVE: Nevada Livestock Marketing: Top 5-Wt Sale in U.S. History; New All-Time Highs for 4 & 6 Wts
Nevada Livestock Marketing set a new benchmark on March 20, 2026, posting the highest 5-weight steer sale in U.S. history for groups of 30 head or more, with 104 head averaging 513 lbs bringing $571.50. Combined with another top-ranking 5-weight sale earlier this year, Nevada Livestock Marketing is the only barn with two sales inside the national top 10 for that weight class.
The sale showed broad strength across all weight classes. In the 4-weights, 442 lb calves at $642.00 and 459 lb calves at $630.00 rank 1st and 3rd in barn history. In the 6-weights, four barn records were set, including 603 lb steers at $490.00 and multiple drafts of 600–620 lb cattle from $459.00 to $470.00, establishing a new high for the barn.
The 8-weight run added three new top 10 records, led by 35 head at 806 lbs bringing $351.00, 25 head at 805 lbs at $350.00, and 77 head at 824 lbs at $349.50. Heavier cattle followed suit, with 15 head at 907 lbs bringing $336.00 and 30 head at 992 lbs at $323.00, both ranking among the top 10 9-weight sales at the barn.

Nevada Livestock Marketing was fortunate enough to be the Superior Steel’s stick out sale of the day on DVAUCTION.COM’s Feeder Flash for both of our February feeder sales.
I’ll let you in on a little secret, good cattle bring good prices, good prices bring more good cattle, more good cattle bring more buyers and that results in higher prices. So our success can be contributed to the quality of cattle our consignors send to Nevada Livestock Marketing and for that we say thank you to our customers both on the seller and buyer side of the equation. We couldn’t pull it off with out all of you.
The reason we have “special sales” is to get more cattle accumulated in one sale so buyers shipping thousands of miles have enough cattle to pick from that they can make loads. I often get asked if there’s going to be “too many” cattle in the sale. There seems to be a misconception that there are not enough buyers for large sales, and I can tell you that large sales bring more buyers and that results in higher prices. When we start to see a sale getting really big we start asking later consignors to hold for a later sale, not because of buying power but because of space for the livestock.
If you still have cattle for sale please consider sending them to NLM. We will do everything in our power to make sure you net the most possible take home $$$$dollars. Send videos and information to 661 305 2699 if you want your livestock advertised on our Facebook page. Thank you!! My number is 775 217 9273 if you have any questions
Thank you sellers, buyers, truckers and our awesome crew at Nevada Livestock Marketing for another great year! We are now on our 20th year here at the salebarn in Fallon, Nevada. Crazy to think I was 27 years old when we started this business. What I wouldn’t give to have those legs again combined with today’s knowledge of the cattle industry and auction business.
It’s been a hell of a ride and we couldn’t have done it without all of you! Thank you for your support.
Good times ahead in the cattle business, I honestly think this market is the new normal. And it needs to be because overhead is so high. We had alot of interest in replacement heifers this week and that is why you see our 6 weight heifers were higher than their brothers. We have been busy weaning more calves at the ranch and pushing cows into some great winter country we haven’t been able to use in several years. Thank goodness for new leadership at the Department of Interior in Washington DC, enough pressure was applied to Nevada BLM they finally had to do their job.
