Market Notes
Compared to last week: Feeder steer and heifers sold mostly 2.00-6.00 lower, some instance to 8.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves traded 3.00-6.00 lower. Demand mostly moderate as corn futures made sharp advances, pushing cost of gains higher. Slaughter cattle trade was not a friend either as light trades sold steady to lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold unevenly steady on somewhat lighter numbers. Several bulls and high boning bulls were included this week.Supply included: 90% Feeder Cattle (52% Steers, 44% Heifers, 3% Bulls); 8% Slaughter Cattle (83% Cows, 17% Bulls); 2% Replacement Cattle (5% Stock Cows, 55% Bred Cows, 3% Bred Heifers, 37% Cow-Calf Pairs).
