FEEDER CATTLE 27114 8602 23188
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 0 1113 764
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 10.00 to 20.00 higher, except
950-1050 lbs steers 3.00 to 8.00 higher. Very good demand for all weights of
steers and heifers, the cattle futures complex continued it's rally, which
helped to propel the cash market higher. With hopes of 250.00 cash fat cattle,
which materialized by Friday, cattle feeders were willing to chase the market
and compete heavily to get cattle bought. The market was incredibly active
throughout the week. Grass is turning green and starting to grow, as turnout
time is not far away. Much optimism abounds across all sectors of cattle
production.
