REPLACEMENT CATTLE 448 198 474
FEEDER CATTLE 174 374 309
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were both too lightly tested
either this week or last week to develop any market trend. Feeder quality this
week was mostly plain to average. Demand for feeders was mostly good, despite a
low quality and light offering. Quality limited demand at times. CME positions
continue to push higher following the decision to close the southern border to
Mexican cattle imports which was released Sunday 5/11/25 and effective
immediately. CME positions were mixed today following sharply higher movement
yesterday. Market activity was mostly moderate to active today. Weigh up cows
sold on moderate to good demand for moderate offerings. Demand for slaughter
cows was mostly light to moderate. Packers continue to try to buy slaughter
cows lower, however demand from feeding buyers kept slaughter cow prices
generally steady. Very few slaughter cows were purchased today as most cows
were purchased to feed. Slaughter cows were all very poor in quality as most
were lame or had major blemishes. Slaughter cows sold generally steady on all
classes. Feeding cows sold on good to very good demand as private feeders and
packer buyers both showed good demand for high quality cows to feed. Feeding
cows sold mostly steady to weak. Quality this week was average to attractive
and overall better than last weeks sale. Slaughter bulls sold on moderate to
good demand this week. Slaughter bulls sold generally steady in a narrow
comparison. Bull quality was not as attractive this week. A large offering of
fed bulls were seen this week. Fed bulls were met with light to moderate demand
as many were very fleshy. Weigh up conditions were mostly average to above
average this week for cows while bulls were average to below average. Young
cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold on good demand for moderate to heavy
offerings. Most offerings sold 5.00 higher on a slightly more attractive
offering this week. Quality was mostly average to attractive today. A large
portion of the young cows were baron and had never had a calf. Offerings with
bags continue to sell with the best demand. Very little difference in price was
seen between 2 and 3 year old cows which had lost calves as demand for rebreed
and recip cows remains very good.
