FEEDER CATTLE 266 303 1132
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 29 48 43
No trends in the feeder market due to limited head to head comparisons, however
the feeder market appeared steady and with good demand for weaned cattle.
Slaughter cows appeared sharply higher with a limited supply and strong
demand. Several days of triple digit heat index has limited cattle movement
causing increased selection pressure in the feeder market and higher premiums
being paid for quality in both the feeder and slaughter markets.
