FEEDER CATTLE 1859 1708 1024
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 5 1 5
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 117 86 116
Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was uneven with an average quality
offering. Light weight steers 400 lbs and under appeared sharply higher and
with strong demand, but with limited head to head comparisons. The 450-750 lbs
steers were steady to 4.00 higher with good demand and yearling steers were
uneven with a good supply. Feeder heifers 500 lbs and under were 1.00 to 3.00
lower, while the 500-700 lbs heifers were 2.00 to 6.00 higher or greater in
spots with a good supply and good demand. Buyers were active today and willing
to pay premiums for higher quality cattle and weaned packages or groups, while
discounting plainer and non weaned cattle severely. Slaughter cows were steady
to 2.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good
demand.
