SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1108 358 1443
FEEDER CATTLE 576 6065 1506
Compared to last week: Too few feeder steers and heifers offered to allow good
market comparisons to be made. Very good demand for all weights of steers and
heifers as the cash fed cattle has reached new, historic high price levels.
The corn crop has benefitted from the frequent rains throughout the month of
July helping to keep feed cost low, which is also helping to support the feeder
market at these prices levels.
