Compared to last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was good
at the two reporting auctions. Couple different types of cattle on hand at
the auctions. Wednesday's sale was yearlings coming off native grass and
Saturday's receipts came mostly out of backgrounding lots. Flesh and weighing
conditions were a little different but, it didn't deter buyers from purchasing.
With feedlots tuning a hefty profit on slaughter steers and heifers buyers are
very willing to jump back into the historic cattle market. Many buyers are more
concerned there will not be enough feeder cattle to go around more than the
cost of the cattle in today's market. With a bumper corn crop on the horizon
many farmer/feeders are planning on walking their crop to town as they continue
to purchase cattle to feed. Irrigated and dry land fields look very well with
several areas of the state receiving over 20 inches of rain since the middle of
May. Feedlot managers continue to be in the driver's seat and held firm on
asking prices for their show-list. Live sales sold steady to 5.00 higher at
245.00 and dressed sales sold 3.00 higher at 383.00 on negotiated prices.
