SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1075 478 1040
FEEDER CATTLE 3577 1420 10150
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold with higher undertones
compared to the limited offerings a week ago. Very good demand for all weights
of steers and heifers after the Independence Day holiday week as there were
more auctions that hosted a feeder cattle sale this week. Cash fed cattle were
higher, up to 242.00, which is causing cattle feeders to remain very bullish in
their outlook for the rest of the year. The cash market holds a huge, positive
basis over the futures contracts as the market fundamentals remain very
positive, causing cattle producers to pay little attention to the movements of
the futures contracts. They know that if they want to fill their pens with
yearlings they will have to compete very heavily and are willing to chase the
market. Row crops are receiving ample moisture this summer, keeping feed cost
very low which is giving them more incentive to feed cattle. Pasture
conditions are good as well, allowing for a full, complete grazing season.
