FEEDER CATTLE 4020 14727 6661
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 592 1794 347
Only one reporting feeder cattle sale in Iowa market news program this week of
Thanksgiving. Compared to last week, this sale sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower on
steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower with instances 30.00 plus lower on
some weights of steers and heifers. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 8.00 to
11.00 lower. Most slaughter cows sold 5.00 lower except lean cows traded
steady. The feeder cattle sale happened on Monday when the livestock sector
thought the sky was falling as the board fell the limit down in both feeders
and live cattle on the CME futures. Spillovers on the sell offs prevailed
through the slaughter cattle auctions during the week. A lot of negative news
in the cattle sector in the last few weeks has taken the upward steam off the
cattle markets. Hopefully it will smooth out with minimal prices swings
prevailing in the upcoming weeks.
