REPLACEMENT CATTLE 78 7 89
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 124 88 217
Compared to last Monday the feeder market was spotty with an average quality
offering. Light weight feeder steers 400 lbs and under were 4.00 to 8.00
higher, while the 450-650 lbs steers were 2.00 to 6.00 lower with a good supply
and moderate demand. Yearling steers appeared lower as well, with a good
supply but with limited head to head comparisons. Feeder heifers 350 lbs and
under were sharply higher with strong demand, while the 400-600 lbs heifers
were steady to 8.00 lower or greater in spots with a good supply and mixed
demand. Slaughter cows and bulls were 2.00 to 4.00 lower with a good supply
and good demand.
