FEEDER CATTLE 26617 10396 26878
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1206 411 1040
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 2.00 to 7.00 higher,
instances of 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Very good demand for all weights of steers
and heifers. CME Feeder Cattle futures found some support this week and traded
higher, which helped to propel the cash feeder cattle market higher. Cash fed
cattle at 235.00 this week, leaving many outgoing fed cattle losing some money
but in spite of this feeder cattle market still worked it's way higher.
