Coryell County Auction Posts January Livestock Sale and Prices
The Coryell County Commission Company updated its market report ahead of the Jan. 7, 2026 livestock sale, posting price ranges, head counts and seller and buyer tallies that local producers use to benchmark receipts. The office noted a holiday closure through Jan. 5, 2026, and the report’s price ranges for steers, heifers, slaughter cows, packer bulls and cow-and-calf pairs will shape marketing and cash-flow decisions for ranches across the county.
Today the Coryell County Commission Company is holding the scheduled livestock sale for Jan. 7, 2026, following its previous sale on Dec. 17, 2025. The commission company’s market report page going into the new year lists sale-day context and price ranges across major categories—steers, heifers, slaughter cows, packer bulls and cow-and-calf pairs—along with head counts and the number of sellers and buyers that determine market liquidity.
Producers and buyers rely on those posted ranges and counts for short-term decisions such as whether to hold animals for weight gain or to market now to meet cash needs. Head counts and buyer participation are especially important in smaller counties like Coryell, where fewer active buyers can widen price swings on sale day. The market report functions as the local price-discovery mechanism that feeds into farm budgets and lender assessments.
The commission company’s page also carried an office holiday notice: "WISHING YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! THE OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED UNTIL JAN. 5TH, 2026." That closure, which ended two days ago, compressed the window for last-minute consignments and administrative tasks ahead of this week’s sale, a practical consideration for ranch operations balancing calving and winter feeding.
On a broader level, local auction price ranges reflect regional supply and demand conditions as well as national influences such as packer demand, feed costs and weather-related herd retention. For Coryell County producers, posted ranges provide a near-real-time signal of where cattle cash values sit relative to recent months. Consistent, transparent reporting from the commission company helps smaller producers make operational choices and supports local credit assessments.
Looking ahead, regular market updates and sale-day participation will remain critical. Producers planning consignments should review the commission company’s posted head counts and buyer numbers to time entries and set realistic reserve prices. Buyers monitoring packer bull and slaughter cow categories will use the report to manage inventories and slaughter schedules.
The commission company’s market report continues to serve as the primary operational update for livestock commerce in Coryell County and the surrounding region, giving rural households and businesses the local price information they need to navigate the winter marketing season.
