FEEDER CATTLE 16772 13000 23291
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 934 904 807
Compared to last week: Yearling feeder steers 2.00 to 4.00 lower, yearling
feeder heifers 5.00 to 10.00 lower. More spring born calves were offered this
week, too few a week ago to make good price comparisons. Good demand for
yearling steers, moderate to good for yearling heifers. There was pressure on
the market as cash fat cattle in the north slipped below 230.00. Packers bid
lower as the boxed beef market continues to quickly drop, retreating around
60.00 in the last month. Moderate to good demand for spring born calves,
farmer feeders are busy in the field with fall harvest and most aren't wanting
a calf yet. Cattle feeders have greatly curbed their enthusiasm for getting
feeder cattle bought, they are now approaching the market much more cautiously.
