Market Notes

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand were moderate. Feeder steers under 550 lbs traded 1.00 to 10.00 higher. Steers between 550 to 700 lbs traded 3.00 to 6.00 lower, and those over 700 lbs traded steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs traded 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifers over 550 lbs had no comparisons from last week to accurately trend. Today's run consisted of a mix of feeder calves with 0 to 60 day wean times and mostly at least two rounds of vaccinations and a run of yearling cattle coming off grass. Calves with multiple rounds of vaccinations and longer wean times continue to carry a stronger demand. The next available report will be Wednesday, November 3, 2021.

Supply included: 90% Feeder Cattle (65% Steers, 35% Heifers); 8% Slaughter Cattle (91% Cows, 9% Bulls); 2% Replacement Cattle (100% Stock Cows). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 53%.
