SLAUGHTER CATTLE 50 29 27
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 12 0 2
FEEDER CATTLE 1142 266 389
Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality
offering. Feeder steers and heifers 650 lbs and under were 3.00 to 8.00 higher
or greater in spots with a good supply and strong demand. Yearling steers were
2.00 to 3.00 higher with good supply and strong demand, and yearling heifers
appeared stronger as well but with no true head to head comparisons. Slaughter
cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were
steady with good demand. Cooler weather conditions coupled with gains in
future market increased cattle movement and the premiums buyers were willing to
pay for weaned packages and groups of cattle.
