Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 3/21/2018
Receipts: 472 Week Ago: 964 Year Ago: 1158
Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers under 600 lbs
steady to 5.00 lower, over 600 lbs not well tested. A light test of heifers
were 2.00-6.00 lower. Slaughter cows 6.00-8.00 lower. Supply light. Near 30
percent of the offering were cows and 20 percent of the feeders were over
600 lbs. Feeder supply approximately 58 percent steers and bulls and 42 percent
heifers. The cattle market is pretty good and really bad all at the same time
with good demand and stable cutout values on one hand while on the other the
board remains in full retreat of expected burdensome spring/summer fed supplies
with August live cattle closing Wednesday at 105.27.
