Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 11/15/2018
Receipts: 4070 Last Week: 3102 Year Ago: 3740
Compared to last week: Steer calves 3.00 to 6.00 lower, heifer calves steady
to 2.00 lower in a narrow comparison. Yearling steers 4.00 higher, except
900-950 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 lower; heifers unevenly steady. Moderate to good
demand for this week?s calf offering, majority were preconditioned and weaned
and sold on an active market. Those calves that weren?t fully vaccinated or
right off the cow were noticeably harder to sell. There were plenty of high
quality calves to select from. Many full loads of yearling steers and heifers
in the offering but fewer than in recent weeks as supplies of this class
tighten. The market was active on yearlings but buyers are cautious as the cash
fed cattle market struggles. 46 percent were steers; 54 percent heifers. 74
percent weighing over 600 lbs.
***Next week no sale, next sale Nov 29th, 4,000 starting at 9:00am.***
