FEEDER CATTLE 20445 3935 20492
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1110 574 991
Compared to last week: A much larger offering of feeder cattle this week,
feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher, instances of 10.00 higher, heifers mostly
steady in narrow comparisons. Very good for steers and heifers, as the CME
Live and Feeder Cattle contracts rebounded this week, the market at the auction
was very active. Cattle feeders were feeling better about the market this week
and were willing to fight a little harder to get some cattle bought. Long
strings of yearlings continue to come to town as backgrounders are wanting to
capitalize on this market and get their stock moved. Rains have come to many
areas that were in need, yet more is needed to ensure a full grazing season.
Corn market continues to slide lower, yet hay has become a very valuable
commodity that is raising the cost to feed cattle. Cash fat cattle up to
258.00 as market ready supplies are still not large enough to take away the
leverage from the cattle feeders.
