FEEDER CATTLE 1327 1679 830
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 15 2 24
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 196 86 194
Compared to last Monday the feeder market was mixed with a mixed quality
offering. Lighter weight feeder steers 500 lbs and under were 3.00 to 5.00
lower, while the 550-700 lbs steers were steady to 3.00 higher with a good
supply and good demand for weaned packages and groups. Yearling steers were
3.00 to 6.00 higher with a good supply and strong demand for yearling cattle.
Feeder heifers followed a similar path with the lighter weight heifers 600 lbs
and under 2.00 to 5.00 lower or greater in spots with moderate demand, while
yearling heifers appeared higher but with limited head to head comparisons.
Buyers were active but selective today and were willing to pay premiums for
quality feeders and yearling cattle, while at the same time increasing the
discounts on plainer, off colored or fat bawling calves and increasing the
price spread across the weight classes. Slaughter cows and bulls were 1.00 to
3.00 higher with a good supply and good demand. Additionally an increased
interest was seen and noted in young and middle aged cows to return to the farm.
