FEEDER CATTLE 7200 5237 9354
*** Close ***
Compared to last week; Feeder steers and heifers mostly steady. Demand
moderate to good for feeder cattle despite lower cattle futures. Corn prices
pushed higher as exports are expected to increase, thus causing feeder futures
to move lower. Slaughter cattle trade pushed thru record highs once again last
week with good movement. Weaned steer and heifer calves 10.00-20.00 lower in a
light test and on lesser quality. Un-weaned calves sold sharply lower. Hot
humid day today followed by 60's tomorrow has negative effects on un-weaned and
short weaned calves. Demand moderate for calves. Some farmers are busy in the
field cutting wheat. Quality mostly average. Feeder cattle in medium to
fleshy conditions, few thin. High winds and warm temperatures the last 4 days
has only intensified drought conditions in Western Oklahoma. There are some
rain chances for the rest of the week.
