Market Notes
Compared to two weeks ago, boning type slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 higher, while breaking type slaughter cows and slaughter bulls were 1.00 to 2.00 lower. There were too few comparable feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a higher undertone was noted. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was plain to average.
Supply included: 71% Feeder Cattle (20% Steers, 48% Heifers, 31% Bulls, 1% Dairy Heifers); 22% Slaughter Cattle (71% Cows, 29% Bulls); 7% Replacement Cattle (33% Bred Cows, 67% Cow-Calf Pairs). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 26%.
