FEEDER CATTLE 772 1140 1045
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 15 78 19
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 96 124 176
Compared to last Monday the feeder market was spotty and mixed with a plainer
than average quality offering. Feeder steers 350 lbs and under were steady to
5.00 higher, while the 400-600 lbs steers were steady to 5.00 lower or greater
in spots with a good supply and mixed demand. Yearling steers were 3.00 to
5.00 lower with a moderate supply and moderate demand. Feeder heifers 600 lbs
and under were mostly steady to 5.00 lower or greater in a few spots with a
good supply and spotty demand. Buyers were active today and willing to pay
premiums for quality cattle, however a softer and spotty undertone was noted.
Slaughter cows were 1.00 to 3.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls
were steady to 2.00 higher with good demand.
