FEEDER CATTLE 815 401 904
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 25 71 10
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 66 112 47
Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality
offering. Feeder steers 600lbs and under were 8.00 to 10.00 higher or greater
in several spots with a good supply and strong demand for weaned packages and
groups. Yearling steers appeared sharply higher as well with a good supply,
but limited comparisons. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were 2.00 to 8.00
higher with a good supply and strong demand. Buyers were active today and
willing to pay premiums for quality feeder cattle, while discounting plainer
and off colored calves severely and increasing the price spread with in weight
classes. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 2.00 lower for leans with a
good supply and slaughter bulls were mostly steady with good demand.
