REPLACEMENT CATTLE 1 23 10
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 61 56 205
Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was uneven with an average quality
offering. Feeder steers and heifers 600 lbs and under were steady to 4.00
lower or greater in spots with a moderate supply and good demand for weaned and
pre-conditioned calves. Yearling steers appeared lower with a moderate supply
but limited head to head comparisons. Slaughter cows were steady to 3.00
higher for leans and slaughter bulls were 6.00 to 8.00 higher with a moderate
supply and strong demand.
