FEEDER CATTLE 12448 10344 14342
No recent price comparisons to be made since this is the first week that
auction market locations have resumed their normal sale schedule. Very good
demand for all weights and classes as the market outlook as improved from
before the Christmas break. Backgrounders were ready to compete heavily and
give more money for the light fleshed, yearling making, steers and heifers that
they need. Supplies of those kinds are more limited than those weighing 600
lbs plus. Cattle feeders were ready to buy those big calves, but they still
feel the sting of their outgoing fat cattle losing money. Large auction
receipts expected next week again as cattle producers continue their winter
marketing.
