Most Recent Report
5/27/2023
Total Run: 3,264
Market Notes
Compared to last week: Too few feeder cattle offered last week to make a comparison with this week. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers, especially those light enough for grass. The cash fed cattle market at 183.00 this week is really pushing the bullish mentality of cattle producers and driving the feeder cattle market higher. The futures are greatly discounted compared to the cash fed cattle market, around 15.00 below the cash. The grazing outlook is starting off favorable and looking good. This report will next be released when receipts warrant market reporting coverage.Supply included: 100% Feeder Cattle (62% Steers, 38% Heifers, 1% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 65%.
