FEEDER CATTLE 9608 8446 10627
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1311 1145 1056
Compared to last week steers sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifers less than 700
lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher and over 700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher.
Slaughter steers and heifers sold sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold
steady to 3.00 higher and bulls steady. Demand once again, was good to very
good with some buyers switching over to heifers since their first cost isn't as
pocketbook draining as their brothers price at the sale. Rain showers across
many areas of the state over the three-day weekend as the state celebrated
Memorial Day. With a little warm weather, field crops, hay and pastures should
jump upward.
