SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1199 877 1231
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers unevenly steady. Good to
very good demand for steers and heifers this week. With the large swings in
the cattle futures complex this week there was some uncertainty in the
marketplace, but cattle feeders who waited until the end of the week were able
to sell cattle up to 244.00-245.00. The market is very active on light weight
and fleshed cattle to background, it's still active on the heavier cattle bound
for finishing yards but cattle feeders are a little more wary as they still
feel the sting on cattle they sold after the mid-October collapse. Feeder
cattle and fat cattle, both, have regained those levels but the Live Cattle
futures is struggling to keep up with the cash trade. Lots of demand seen for
replacement quality heifers. Very mild weather, for February made it easier
for cattle producers to get their stock shipped to town this week as they look
to capitalize on this market.
