FEEDER CATTLE 1180 1083 1539
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 74 69 128
Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was mixed and spotty with an
increased variability of quality throughout the sale. Feeder steers and
heifers 650 lbs and under were steady to 6.00 lower or greater in spots with a
good supply and moderate demand, while the yearling steers and heifers were
2.00 to 6.00 higher with a good supply and strong demand. Buyers were active
today and willing to pay premiums for weaned packages and groups, while showing
a very limited interest in the increased supply of bawling calves and plainer
quality feeders that are hitting the market. Slaughter cows and bulls were
steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and good demand.
