FEEDER CATTLE 24356 28806 21492
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1494 2174 1327
Compared to last week steers less than 600 lbs sold 10.00 higher and heifers
less than 600 lbs sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher. Steers and heifers over 600 lbs
sold unevenly steady throughout the week. Slaughter steers and heifers sold
3.00 to 4.00 lower in early week trading. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 lower and
bull 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good on another week of heavy
offerings. Some heifers getting commented as replacements with several groups
not getting commented on top of different weights are more than likely heading
back to the breeding pens this summer. Early week feedlot trade through the
auctions saw a price decline but country trade on Friday was steady with last
week at 232.00 live.
