FEEDER CATTLE 1244 1327 864
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 5 15 52
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 109 196 94
Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mostly stronger with a good, but
highly variable quality offering. Feeder steers were mostly steady to 4.00
higher or greater in spots with a good supply and good demand, while the
yearling steers appeared firm but with limited head to head comparisons.
Feeder heifers were unevenly steady today, bouncing from 3.00 lower to 3.00
higher across the weight classes with a good supply and good demand for weaned
groups and guaranteed open heifers. Today was a typical fall market with
buyers willing to pay premiums for quality and value added feeder cattle, while
increasing the discounts on bawling calves, and plainer quality feeders
severely. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady with a good supply and
good demand.
