FEEDER CATTLE 17280 18452 12760
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 649 736 417
Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 750 lbs 5.00 to 7.00 higher, over
750 lbs unevenly steady. Feeder heifers 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Very good demand
for all weights of steers and heifers as the cash fat cattle market sets
another new, all-time high price of 231.00. Cattle producers are feeling very
optimistic about the market for the remainder of the year and want to make sure
they have cattle in their pens. Much needed moisture has finally come to the
area giving a good start to the growing season.
