FEEDER CATTLE 4595 3340 4775
Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers were too lightly tested
today to develop any market trend. Steer calves under 600 lbs sold mostly
5.00-15.00 higher. Steer calves over 600 lbs sold mostly steady to 5.00 higher.
Heifer calves all sold 5.00-15.00 higher. Demand was mostly very good for
moderate to heavy offerings. Yearling quality was mostly plain to average
today. Yearling offerings were very light. Calf quality was average to very
attractive. A large crowd was on hand for todays sale and stayed until late in
the day. Heifer demand was very good this sale. Several farmer feeders were in
the stands and showed very good demand for heifers to feed. Demand for high
quality heifers was very good as several buyers showed strong premiums for
heifers that could be developed into replacements. These offerings were tagged
as fancy in the report below. Demand for lightweight calves was very good again
this sale as buyers look for calves that can be developed into yearlings. This
is unseasonably early as buyers show concern over available supplies of
lightweight calves. Most sets of lightweight steer calves topped 2300 per head
with some sets selling for the same dollars per head as their heavyweight
brothers. CME positions traded higher again today and have pushed higher much
of this week. Market activity was active with a large crowd on hand for todays
sale. No cows will be sold on Thursdays in the fall.
