Compared to last week, feeder cattle receipts were lighter, with a reduced
supply of weaned calves. Pressure from recent losses on the feeder cattle
futures board, combined with the limited availability of weaned calves,
resulted in lower prices for lighter-weight steers. Steer calves weighing
300-550 lbs sold $8.00 lower, while steers weighing 550-800 lbs traded $12.00
higher on stronger demand. Feeder heifers traded $14.00 lower on average across
all weight classes. Slaughter cattle prices were $10.00-$15.00 lower for the
week amid softer demand.
