SLAUGHTER CATTLE 48 46 36
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 51 39 61
FEEDER CATTLE 265 344 389
Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was spotty with an average quality
offering. Feeder steers and heifers 600 lbs and under were steady to 6.00
lower or greater in spots with a good supply and moderate demand. Yearling
steers appeared stronger with a good supply, but limited head to head
comparisons. Feeder buyers were active today, but the growing supply of
heavier conditioned calves on the market is limiting some buyers interest and
the premiums they are willing to pay. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady
with a good supply and good demand.
