Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 09/15/2016
Receipts: 1513 Last Week: 2179 Year Ago: 2063
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 2.00 to 3.00 higher
in a narrow comparison. Demand improved to good this week for yearling
steers and heifers, yet stayed light for Holsteins. A lighter offering
this week yet there were many load lots available of both steers and
heifers out of backgrouding lots in moderate plus to heavy flesh. There
was a consignment of light fleshed yearlings off grass, along with a
few packages of spring born calves offered right off the cow. Cattle
futures higher again today, making good gains for the week, is really
helping to stabilize the market and give buyers the confidence they need
to step out and buy cattle. 83 percent over 600 lbs. 39 percent of
feeders were steers; 61 percent heifers. 2,000 feeder cattle expected
for next week Sep. 15, 2016.
