Market Notes
Compared to last week, feeder steers sold steady to 3.00 higher, with instances of 7-wt steers up to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold uneven; 3.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Breaking and Boning Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher, while lean cows sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Demand overall was good. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold 4.00 higher at 140.00. Compared to the last report, prices for alfalfa and grass hay continue to be bullish in all regions, most notably dairy quality hay was up another .05/pt RFV. Demand remains high for all types of hay and everything that can be baled, is being baled due to the ongoing drought. There seems to be some hay out there, and operators want to lock in a deal, but some producers aren't quite ready to let it go yet, as the long-term forecast looks bleak.
Supply included: 81% Feeder Cattle (73% Steers, 27% Heifers, 0% Bulls); 6% Slaughter Cattle (93% Cows, 7% Bulls); 13% Replacement Cattle (80% Bred Cows, 13% Bred Heifers, 7% Cow-Calf Pairs, 0% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 86%.
