FEEDER CATTLE 897 407 1021
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 0 4 13
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 44 35 107
Compared to last week the feeder market was stronger in spots with a good
quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 600 lbs and under were mostly
steady to 5.00 higher in spots with a good supply and good demand for weaned
and harder conditioned calves. Yearling steers and heifers appeared steady
with a good supply but limited head to head comparisons. Slaughter cows were
1.00 to 3.00 higher with a moderate supply and good demand and no trends on
slaughter bulls due to last weeks lite test.
