Summary This Week Last Reported Last Year
------------------------------------------------------------
Total Receipts:
------------------------------------------------------------
FEEDER CATTLE 3489 1927 7236
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold with lower undertones.
Good demand for light cattle to background, very good demand for replacement
quality heifers, moderate to good for heavier cattle bound for finishing yards.
As the cash fat cattle market slipped from it's highs of 250.00 a week ago,
and reports of 244.00-246.00 came in at early week, cattle feeders approached
the feeder market a little slower this week. CME cattle futures lower at
midweek kept them concerned as breakeven costs are higher than the futures
contracts. Good moisture across the state for the year, as North Dakota is 1
of only 2 states that aren't experiencing some level of drought. This is fact,
along with the lofty feeder cattle market, is keeping interest in breeding
heifers very high.
