REPLACEMENT CATTLE 1 4 1
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 86 30 80
Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality
offering. Good quality feeder steers 650 lbs and under were 10.00 to 12.00
higher or greater in spots with a good supply and strong demand. Yearling
steers appeared sharply higher as well, but with limited head to head
comparisons. Feeder heifers were mostly 3.00 to 8.00 higher across the weight
classes with a good supply and strong demand. Slaughter cows and bulls
appeared steady with a good supply and good demand.
