FEEDER CATTLE 702 974 1134
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 4 3 0
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 59 76 72
Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was lower with a good quality
offering. Feeder steers and heifers were 3.00 to 8.00 lower in spots and
sharply lower in several comparisons with a good supply and moderate demand.
Continued negative pressure from the futures market is limiting buyers interest
and the premiums that they are willing to pay quality cattle. Slaughter cows
were 2.00 to 4.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with
good demand.
