Market Notes

Compared to last week: Feeder calves were scarcely tested this week thus no trend on feed cattle is available. Demand for limited offerings was good. Quality was mostly average to attractive today. Market activity was mostly moderate. Weigh up cows sold on good to very good demand. Packers showed good demand for cows for immediate harvest. Packer buyers competed with feeding cow buyers over offerings today which helped push cow prices slightly higher in places. Too few boning and breaking cows were seen to develop an accurate market trend, however steady to higher undertones were noticed. Lean cows sold 2.00-3.00 higher in a narrow comparison. Feeding cows sold on mostly good to very good demand today. Feeding cows sold with steady to higher undertones. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00-4.00 higher in a narrow comparison. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold on good demand today. Several sets of open cows were seen and these were purchased to rebreed. Young age cows sold with higher undertones in a narrow comparison.

Supply included: 16% Feeder Cattle (24% Steers, 40% Heifers, 36% Bulls); 54% Slaughter Cattle (79% Cows, 21% Bulls); 29% Replacement Cattle (100% Stock Cows). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 46%.
