Market Notes

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 750 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, over 750 lbs unevenly steady. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. A very large offering of feeder cattle this week after the-arctic-like weather from last week was replaced with much warmer temperatures. Cattle producers were able to easily, and safely, ship their stock to town and were eager to do so after enduring temps of 30 to care for their stock. Calving time is quickly nearing and producers will need the extra space and want to get last year’s cattle sold before then. The CME Live Cattle futures added pressure to the market and cash fed cattle market continues to disappoint as cattle feeders just can ’t get the leverage they need to push the market to 120.00 like they need. Demand remains very good for light weight cattle to background on grass as spring time is quickly nearing, more moderate for heavier cattle that are bound for finishing yards as higher feed costs and a struggling fed cattle market are keeping cattle feeders on the defensive.

Supply included: 100% Feeder Cattle (63% Steers, 37% Heifers). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 80%.
