Total Run: 11,953

Market Notes

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 3.00 to 6.00 higher, instances to 8.00 higher on 450-500 lbs heifers. Good to very good demand for all weights of feeder cattle this week as the CME Live Cattle contracts made good gains. Very large auction receipts again and buyers were ready to buy these cattle and chase the market higher when they saw the quality and kind that they liked. The absence of snow has allowed cattle to stay very clean and really look eye appealing as their haircoats are long and open. The mild weather has cattle growing quickly and able to put on extra flesh condition. Buyers are very critical of too much flesh as costs of gain have risen dramatically with the corn market at 5.00 plus.

Supply included: 100% Feeder Cattle (65% Steers, 35% Heifers, 1% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 75%.
