FEEDER CATTLE 31702 32364 36526
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1300 1519 1600
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 5.00 to 10.00 higher,
instances to 15.00 higher on 400-500 lbs. Very good demand for all weights of
steers and heifers. Higher futures prices, until Friday, helped to propel the
feeder cattle market higher. Cash fed cattle selling in the 232.00-233.00
range also helped to add some support to the market. The market is incredibly
active for those lighter weight cattle, and for replacement quality heifers.
The market is active on the heavier weight cattle bound for finishing yards,
but with the supply so much more readily available than the light weights,
buyers can be more selective and not have to fight as hard to get cattle
bought. Cattle feeders are feeling more cautious than the backgrounders, as
they had to endure losses on cattle sold before the market recovered. The
weather has been open and rather mild, for mid January, which made it easy for
cattle producers to get their cattle shipped to town. Winter made a harsh
comeback on Friday with high winds, below zero temps and worse windchills in
the forecast for the coming week. Cattle producers were quick to get cattle
consigned and sold this week as the market has recovered so much of it's lost
ground.
