Receipts: 2068 Last Week: 4996 Year Ago: 4212
Compared to last week: Light receipts this week, with
several cancellations due to a winter storm that came across
much of the southern half of the state yesterday. Feeder steers
and heifers over 700 lbs mostly 1.00 to 4.00 lower in a light
test. Demand mostly moderate on a moderately active market.
Flesh condition moderate, with plain to attractive quality
cattle on offer. CME Feeder Cattle and Live Cattle contracts
traded very unevenly today, before finally closing mostly
.27 to .80 higher. Couple consignments of fall calves offered,
both weaned and unweaned. Cattle flagged as "Value Added"
qualified for Drug Free programs. Feeder cattle offering
was 72 percent steers, 28 percent heifers; 89 percent weighing
over 600 lbs. Sale next Thursday March 31st, expecting 5,000
head or more of feeders.
