FEEDER CATTLE 2162 2654 2802
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 21 56 54
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 133 148 383
Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was lower with an average quality
offering. Light weight feeder steers 400 lbs and under were sharply lower,
while the 400-600 lbs steers were steady to 6.00 lower with a good supply and
moderate demand. Yearling steers were 4.00 to 6.00 lower with a good supply
and moderate demand. Feeder heifers were mostly 2.00 to 8.00 lower, except for
the 400-500 lbs heifers who were 2.00 to 6.00 higher, with a good supply and
spotty demand. Feeder buyers are active, however downward movement in the
futures market last few days is limiting the premiums some buyers are willing
pay. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower with a good supply and
slaughter bulls were 2.00 lower with good demand.
