Nevada Livestock Marketing Delivers Record-Smashing Sale
Nevada Livestock Marketing delivered a truly historic auction on Friday, March 21st, hosting the largest Friday sale in the country and what many now consider the greatest sale in the company’s history. With more than 5,000 head marketed and buyers from across the U.S. competing aggressively, the sale set a new standard for the Western cattle trade.
The event produced all-time barn records across seven steer weight classes—3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9-weights—a rare and remarkable achievement.
Headlining the sale was a group of 27 head at 337 lbs that brought $500.00/cwt, the first $500 sale ever recorded at Nevada Livestock Marketing and a new Nevada state record for 3-weight steers. Also commanding attention, 85 head at 436 lbs sold for $472.00/cwt, placing among the top four sales in state history, and 14 head at 503 lbs brought $394.00/cwt, landing in the top three all-time for 5-weights.
Additional record-setting achievements included: 🔹 Highest 4-weight price ever recorded in Nevada 🔹 Top 3 sales for 5-weights in Nevada history 🔹 Top 2 sales for 6-weights in Nevada history 🔹 Top 4 sales for 7-weights in Nevada history
“This was the highest sale I’ve ever been at,” said Corbitt Wall, well-known market analyst and auctioneer with DVAuction. “Outstanding cattle, serious buyers, and a barn full of energy—this market is leading the West.”
Demand was especially strong for lightweight stocker cattle, with buyers targeting heifers and steers to turn out on grass. Many of the top-performing cattle were bound for California and the Midwest, with notable online bidding through DV Auction. Featured prices included: 51 head @ 555 lbs – $358.50/cwt. / 190 head @ 522 lbs – $345.00/cwt. / 88 head @ 441 lbs – $414.00/cwt
Online engagement helped drive momentum. Dusty Markham, Business Director at DVAuction, noted:
“We had 374 online viewers and 488 bids, with 481 head sold online to buyers in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and locally. That kind of activity shows just how respected this barn is. The quality and consistency brought strong interest from across the region.”
Reflecting on the event, Jack Payne, Owner/Operator of Nevada Livestock Marketing, shared his gratitude:
“We can’t thank everyone enough for making this one of the most amazing sales in our history. To all the buyers and sellers who showed up and supported us, your trust means the world. A huge shoutout to our hardworking crew who went above and beyond, and to Corbitt Wall for bringing the energy and helping us showcase these cattle to their fullest potential. And of course, big thanks to the folks at DVAuction for giving us a national platform that connects our barn to buyers everywhere. We’re proud of what happened here—and we’re just getting started.”
