REPLACEMENT CATTLE 277 134 65
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 303 459 495
Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 8.00 to 15.00 higher. Demand was
good to very good. The bullishness has come back to the feeder cattle market as
Feeder Cattle futures have gained around 30.00 in the past 3 weeks and cash fed
cattle are 10.00 higher in the past 2 weeks. Slaughter cows and bulls sold
steady to 2.00 higher. Kansas negotiated fed cattle sales sold 7.00 higher at
245.00. In the hay market, Demand has picked up slightly as buyers remain
concerned about drought conditions and limited rain in the forecast. Forage is
available, though much of it is lower quality. Many producers are holding onto
supplies to feed cattle through the summer. Alfalfa stands have experienced
notable pest pressure, with numerous fields having undergone one or more
insecticide applications targeting aphids and weevils.
