FEEDER CATTLE 4628 7298 4768
Compared to last week: steers from 600 lbs to 649 lbs were steady to 2.00
higher, steers from 650 lbs to 849 lbs were generally 10.00 to 15.00 lower,
steers from 850 lbs to 899 lbs were steady to 2.00 lower; heifers from 550 lbs
to 749 lbs were mostly steady to 4.00 lower, heifers from 750 lbs to 799 lbs
were 10.00 to 15.00 lower. No other comparisons available. Another big run of
cattle for todays auction with a house full of people. Good to very good
demand for all classes today. Most of todays offering was home raised, fully
vaccinated and long time weaned. Several consignments were offered in multiple
loads, plenty of part loads and packages to make loads out of. Continue to see
very good demand and lots of interest in the better replacement heifers. An
active market from start to finish with plenty of interest in procuring cattle.
Mostly black hided cattle for todays sale that ranged from light fleshed hay
fed cattle to moderate plus backgrounded cattle. Internet buyers were
competing with order buyers and farmer feeders at todays auction. Considering
all the negative news going on around the world the cash feeder cattle market
is holding up rather well. Next feeder cattle auction will be Friday, March
13, 2026.
