Market Notes

Compared to last week, yearlings sold steady to firm and calves sold steady to spots 5.00 lower except for steer calves weighing 450-500 lbs that sold in smaller packages than the last few weeks selling 5.00-15.00 lower. Demand was good for another heavy supply of cattle that featured more yearlings this week. Same story again as limited amounts of available forage and a strong cash market for calves and feeders brought large numbers to town. Cattle futures were higher and corn lower Tuesday, helping support the market. A large supply of near 675 slaughter cows and bulls were not reported due to the large supply of calves and feeders.

Supply included: 100% Feeder Cattle (55% Steers, 43% Heifers, 2% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 52%.
