Market Notes
Compared to two weeks ago: Limited price comparisons available, the last few weeks have been light due to harvest being in full swing . Steers and heifers of similar weights were not available. Special Anniversary sale today drew in a large, eye appealing offering of green feeder cattle. Steady to higher undertones were very present today. Demand for this nice offering was outstanding. Nice string of yearlings, several load lots of light to moderate fleshed steers and heifers offered. Interest in the light calves and yearlings were pretty similar. Calf prices varied heavily on the color of the hide today creating wide price gaps. Other factors affecting the price were vaccinations received and load lots vs packages. Fed Cattle are pushing towards price levels that the market has not seen since 2015, close to $160 for April. Cattle on feed October 1 down 1 percent compared to last year at the same time. It's not looking like feeder prices will be falling anytime soon. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Bulls 7.00 to 9.00 lower.
Supply included: 96% Feeder Cattle (49% Steers, 51% Heifers); 4% Slaughter Cattle (91% Cows, 9% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 82%.
