Market Notes
Compared to last week: Steers under 600 lbs sold 5.00 to 9.00 higher; over 600 lbs sold steady to 2.00 lower. Heifers under 550 lbs sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher; over 550 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower. Demand ranged from moderate to very good. Demand best for those calves suitable for grazing or backgrounding as weakness in the CME Cattle Complex limited the upside on the heavier weight cattle. Cost of gains are still still a concern with corn around the 6.00 mark at country elevators in many areas of the state.
