SLAUGHTER CATTLE 952 1240 1080
FEEDER CATTLE 7743 7906 10555
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 6.00 to 12.00 higher. Very
good demand for all weights of steers and heifers. Yearlings continue to come
straight off grass to the auctions and are met by eager buyers. Feedyard
backgrounded yearlings are being offered as well, these cattle command just as
much attention as the grass cattle, albeit dependent upon their flesh
condition. Cattle feeders remain very bullish as their outgoing cattle are so
highly profitable, cash fed cattle mostly at 242.00-243.00 this week. Corn
silage harvest underway as the crops begin to dry down, harvest looks to be
large. The weather has been ideal for cattle feeding performance as cool
weather moved into the region.
