SLAUGHTER CATTLE 29 63 45
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 17 49 14
FEEDER CATTLE 421 655 326
Compared to last Wednesday: Feeder steers under 500 lbs. sold 10.00-12.00 lower
and those over 500 lbs. were 2.00-3.00 lower. The lightweight heifers sold
sharply lower and those over 400 lbs. were 5.00-6.00 higher. The overall
quality of the lighter calves was very plain compared to the previous sales and
the buyers reacted accordingly. The demand for the heavier calves was good
considering very few weaned calves in today's offering. Slaughter cows sold
steady to 3.00 higher and slaughter bulls were sharply higher.
