Market Notes
Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 higher, heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Good to very good demand, depending on the flesh and the kind, for this nice offering of high quality, backgrounded feeder cattle. The bitter cold weather caused some cancellations, the weighing condition was attractive for buyers as the cold weather is hard on the cattle. Flesh condition ranged from light to heavy and there were plenty of buyers for all kinds. Growing conditions have been really good all winter, until this week, which allowed for cattle to put on weight and flesh easily. With rising costs of gain and cattle feeders continuing to struggle with profitability the heavier fleshed cattle found far fewer outlets. Next week will be the Hereford influenced sale, expecting 5,000 feeder cattle starting at 9:00 am.
Supply included: 100% Feeder Cattle (56% Steers, 44% Heifers). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 83%. AUCTION This Week Last Reported 2/4/2021 Last Year Total Receipts: 3,740 5,287 3,233 Feeder Cattle: 3,740(100.0%) 5,287(100.0%) 3,233(100.0%)
