SLAUGHTER CATTLE 281 365 400
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 2 0 61
Compared to last week: There were too few comparable sales on steer calves to
state a market trend but a good turn out of feeder steers coming off short
grass gave a better picture. Most 800-900 lb. steers sold mostly 15.00 lower.
Heifer calves also had too few comparable sales for a trend but a decidedly
lower undertone was noted. Feeder heifers weighing 780 lbs. brought 12.00 lower
while 800-850 lb. heifers brought 9.00 lower. Average to high yielding
slaughter cows were steady to 5.00 lower. Dry cows and cull bulls continue to
come in off droughty country. There's been a few showers around but nothing to
change the pattern. High temperatures also continue to dominate the foreseeable
forecast as the whole state keeps looking for a relief to the long summer.
However; trade was active with good demand in spite of a lower board and recent
news reports.
