FEEDER CATTLE 152 82 348
Compared to last week (3-03-26): All feeder cattle were to lightly tested to
develop any market trend. Feeder cattle were mostly offered in small packages
or as singles this week. Quality was mostly average this week. Buyers struggled
to build loads which hindered demand. Market activity was moderate to active
despite light offerings. Weigh up cows sold on good demand for light offerings.
Feeding cow buyers showed good demand for all cows which would feed. Feeding
cows sold with steady undertones in a very narrow comparison. Cow quality this
week was average to attractive. Slaughter cows sold on good demand, however
very few cows were purchased for immediate harvest as private feeders kept cow
prices over slaughter cow orders. Slaughter bulls sold generally steady in a
narrow comparison. Feeding type bulls were too lightly tested last week to
develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Young
age cows were too lightly tested last week to develop an accurate market trend,
however higher undertones were noticed. Several sets of open young cows bring
$3,050-3,200 per head this week. Quality this week was mostly average to
attractive.
