Cattle Receipts: 807 Last week: 1388 Last year: 1083
Compared to last week: Feeder steer and heifer calves sold unevenly steady.
Yearling steers and heifers sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower. Sharply lower CME cattle
futures this week depressed the overall yearling market. Lighter weight thin
fleshed calves still in very good demand for grass. New crop fleshy calves were
discounted accordingly. Slaughter cows and bulls sold fully steady.
7 replacement cattle, 40 slaughter cattle, and 760 feeder cattle.
Slaughter cows made up 3.0 percent of offering, slaughter bulls 1 percent,
replacement cows .4 percent and feeders 95.0 percent. The feeder supply
included 60 percent steers and bulls, and 40 percent heifers. Near 43 percent of
run weighed over 600 lbs.
