FEEDER CATTLE 544 167 310
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 17 1 38
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 67 28 119
Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality
offering. Feeder steers and heifers 650 lbs and under were 6.00 to 10.00
higher or greater in several spots with a good supply and strong demand.
Yearling cattle appeared sharply higher as well, but with limited head to head
comparisons. Recent gains in the feeder cattle futures market and cooler
weather conditions is increasing cattle movement and the premiums buyers are
willing to pay for quality feeder cattle. Slaughter cows appeared 1.00 to 3.00
higher with a light test last week, and slaughter bulls were steady with a good
supply of slaughter animals this week and buyers showing good demand.
