SLAUGHTER CATTLE 771 649 1214
FEEDER CATTLE 11264 17280 11888
Compared to last week: Feeder steers mostly steady, instances of 10.00 higher
on front end, light fleshed kinds. Feeder heifers steady to 2.00 lower. Much
lighter auction receipts this week, demand remains very good. Cash fed cattle
market continues to be red hot as packers have to bid higher to get the cattle
bought that they need, up to 231.00 this week. The strength of the fat market
is keeping a fire lit under the feeder cattle market, and helping to advance
the futures contracts. Cattle feeders' outgoing fed cattle are very profitable
and they want to refill their pens while the cattle are available. Auction
runs are becoming more sporadic now as we enter the summer marketing season.
Good rains across the state have greatly improved the outlook for a full
grazing season, another positive for the feeder cattle market as yearling
operators want light fleshed cattle to turn out on grass.
