FEEDER CATTLE 717 665 336
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 37 26 44
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 59 75 61
Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was mixed with an average quality
offering. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were steady to 4.00 higher in spots
with a moderate supply and good demand for weaned packages and groups.
Yearling steers appeared firm, but with no true head to head comparisons.
Feeder heifers 400 lbs and under were 4.00 to 6.00 lower with moderate demand,
while the 450-600 lbs heifers were steady to 3.00 higher with a good supply.
Feeder buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for quality and
weaned packages of calves, while increasing the discounts on off colored and
bawling calves severely. Slaughter cows and bulls were 1.00 to 3.00 lower
with a moderate supply and moderate demand.
