SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1137 1028 1387
Compared to last week: Feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 higher, heifers mostly
steady. Very good demand for yearling steers and heifers. Cattle feeders are
eager to buy these high quality yearlings as they become available. The feeder
cattle market continues to advance and set new historical high prices as the
competition at the auction is fierce. Cash fed cattle up to 246.00, and the
CME Live and Feeder Cattle futures moving higher as well, is fanning the flames
under the feeder cattle market. Fed cost are much cheaper than last year,
which is helping to support the feeder cattle market as well.
