SLAUGHTER CATTLE 728 991 742
Compared to last week: More limited feeder cattle offerings as many auction
markets move to their bi-weekly summer schedules, feeder steers and heifers
sold unevenly steady. Very good demand for light fall calves to background and
for yearlings to go right into finishing yards. The cash fed cattle started to
trade higher, up to 244.00 but then at late week sales of 238.00-240.00
surfaced and the futures contracts posted large losses on Friday. There is
much optimism amongst cattle producers regardless of where the futures
contracts are at as the market reached highs that most did not think could be
achieved. The cash market has outperformed the futures and continues to do so,
causing producers to pay little attention to it. Cattle are turned out to
grass and auction receipts are light, except when a special BBQ sale is held
offering long strings of backgrounded steers and heifers. The market is very
active as cattle feeders know they need to act quick or they will not get the
cattle bought that they need. Corn is growing nicely and pastures are in
decent shape, looking positive for a fruitful growing season.
