SLAUGHTER CATTLE 38 71 53
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 5 0 4
FEEDER CATTLE 277 607 871
Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market appeared stronger in spots with a
smaller, but average quality offering. No trends in the feeder steer market
due to limited head to head comparisons, however the yearling steers appeared
stronger and with good demand. Feeder heifers 400-500 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00
higher, while the 500-600 lbs heifers were steady with a limited supply and
good demand. Heavy rain and muddy conditions coupled with several schools on
fall break has limited cattle movement today, however buyers are still active
and willing to pay premiums for quality and value added packages and groups.
Slaughter cows were steady to 3.00 higher with most gains seen in the leans and
the high dressing individuals, while the slaughter bulls were 1.00 to 2.00
lower with a moderate supply and good demand.
