Market Notes

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs and heifers under 500 lbs were lightly tested, with 550-600 lbs steers selling steady to firm, 600-800 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers weighing 450-600 lbs sold steady to firm with 600-700 lbs trading with a weak to lower undertone with overall quality not as attractive as last week's offering. Demand was moderate to good on a heavy offering of feeders. Receipts for Friday's sale included a large offering of mixed crossbred feeders weighing mostly 500-700 lbs selling in large groups and strings as demand was mostly moderate on these groups. Slaughter cows sold steady with slaughter steers and heifers fully steady to firm.

Supply included: 89% Feeder Cattle (56% Steers, 38% Heifers, 6% Bulls); 11% Slaughter Cattle (21% Steers, 2% Dairy Steers, 16% Heifers, 56% Cows, 4% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 45%.
