Market Notes
Compared to last week steers and heifers sold sharply higher on the week. With the flip of the calendar into July BBQ sale season has arrived! Bulk of the receipts in this week’s report came from Bassett Livestock BBQ sale. Bidding was fast and furious at all reporting auctions with cattle going to local and out of state feedlots. This week weighted ave on an 800-900 lbs steer is roughly 20.00 per cwt higher than a year ago. Spotty rain showers across some of the state late in the week along with high winds doing some crop damage in different locations. Feedlot trade was mix, rather odd in a way. Live sales sold a tick lower on the week from 123.00 to 125.00 and dressed sales sold steady to 4.00 higher from 198.00 to 202.00.Supply included: 94% Feeder Cattle (76% Steers, 24% Heifers); 6% Slaughter Cattle (100% Cows). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 85%.
