SLAUGHTER CATTLE 626 710 1623
FEEDER CATTLE 9402 6100 11843
Compared to last week: Yearling feeder steers and heifers 10.00 to 20.00
higher, instances to 30.00 higher on 900-950 lbs steers. Very good demand for
yearling steers and heifers, especially by late week as the futures contracts
rallied and reports of cash fed cattle at 225.00. Cattle feeders are ready to
take on these good, light fleshed yearlings right off grass, and know they will
have to compete heavily as the yearling supply is tight this year. However,
with outgoing fed cattle losing money and the futures not supporting the cash
markets as breakeven prices are much higher than the level the futures are at.
Few strings of spring born calves coming to town already, as the drought has
been severe and grass is very short. Moderate demand for those calves as most
cattle feeders aren't ready to take on a bawling calf yet.
