FEEDER CATTLE 303 1045 892
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 4 3 0
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 48 24 65
Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was mostly stronger with a light
test. Good quality feeder steers 650 lbs and under were 4.00 to 6.00 higher
with a moderate supply and with good demand for weaned and harder conditioned
calves. Yearling steers appeared stronger but with limited head to head
comparisons. Feeder heifers 450 lbs and under were 6.00 to 8.00 higher with
good demand, while heifers 500 lbs and over were 4.00 to 5.00 lower with
moderate demand. Gains in the futures market are increasing buyers willingness
to pay premiums, however current weather conditions are limiting cattle
movement and increasing buyers selectiveness. Slaughter cows were steady to
2.00 higher with a moderate supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good
demand.
