FEEDER CATTLE 1009 1277 928
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 15 15 4
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 165 149 62
Compared to last Monday the feeder market was sharply higher with a good
quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 650 lbs and under were mostly
10.00 to 20.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply and strong demand
for all classes of feeder cattle. Yearling steers and heifers appeared
stronger as well but with limited head to head comparisons. Feeder buyers were
highly active today and willing to increase the premiums paid for weaned and
pre-conditioned calves. Slaughter cows and bulls were 2.00 to 5.00 lower with
a good supply and moderate demand.
