Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 04/12/2018
Receipts: 6304 Last Week: 2636 Year Ago: 5685
Compared to last week: Feeder steers over 700 lbs mostly 1.00 to 2.00
higher with the exception of 800 to 900 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifers
weighing 700 to 900 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 higher. There were not enough steers or
heifers under 700 lbs or heifers over 900 lbs for an adequate market test.
Good to very good demand for all weights of feeders as CME cattle futures
closed higher today. Many large stings of high quality reputation cattle
were offered today with a wide range of flesh condition. Buyers were
selective on flesh condition. Cattle carrying moderate to heavy flesh were
discounted 1.00 to 4.00 depending on the amount of flesh. Within the feeder
cattle supply 64 percent were steers and 36 percent heifers. 97 percent
weighing over 600 lbs. Next week expecting 4,000 feeder cattle.
