FEEDER CATTLE 6062 5232 5565
Compared to last week: Steer calves 10.00 to 20.00 higher, instances to 30.00
higher on weights under 550 lbs, heifer calves 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Yearling
steers steady to 3.00 higher, yearling heifers unevenly steady. Very good
demand for this very large offering of spring born steer and heifer calves,
good demand for the strings of yearling steers and heifers. After last week's
advance in the cattle futures contracts, and reports of 232.00 cash fat cattle
top in Iowa last week, cattle feeders were much more optimistic than they have
been in recent months. Plenty of buyers on the seats, ready to battle it out,
to buy these good home raised calves and backgrounded yearlings. Flesh
condition of calves was rather attractive as the weather has been cold, and the
weekly storms have kept calves from getting too fleshy as it's been tough to
keep cattle dry. Flesh condition of yearlings moderate plus to heavy. The
market was extremely active on calves, the calf market has just about fully
recovered and returned to the levels before it crashed in the middle of
October. The yearling market was active as there were some long strings
offered in multiple load lots that allowed buyers to make uniform pens.
