FEEDER CATTLE 7906 6752 11707
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1240 1137 1275
Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 850 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 higher, over
850 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Very good
demand for all weights of steers and heifers. A few small consignments of
spring born calves starting to show up in town, the market is very active on
these light calves. The market remains very active on the yearlings as
outgoing cash fed cattle have continued to sell in the 240's. Cattle feeders
have maintained their market leverage all through the summer, a fact that many
said would not happen, as the market rallied counter-seasonally. A large corn
crop is on the way, keeping costs of feed low, and giving much incentive to
refill empty feedlot pens.
