FEEDER CATTLE 232 439 422
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 71 44 101
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 54 47 117
Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was spotty with an average quality
offering. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were steady to 6.00 lower in spots
with a limited supply and good demand for weaned and harder conditioned calves.
Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were steady to 6.00 higher or greater in
spots with a moderate supply and good demand. Buyers were active today and
willing to pay premiums for specific weights and groups, however the increasing
supply of fatter new crop calves are limiting some buyers interest and
increasing the price spreads in most weight classes. Slaughter cows were
steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with
good demand.
