FEEDER CATTLE 20616 16772 29864
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 966 934 68
Compared to last week: Steer calves 15.00 to 30.00 higher, heifer calves 15.00
to 25.00 higher. Yearling feeder steers 5.00 to 15.00 higher, yearling feeder
heifers 2.00 to 8.00 higher. Very good demand for spring born steer and heifer
calves, the fall run has begun and ranch raised calves are coming to town and
being met by eager buyers. Few offerings of calves in East River auctions as
cattle producers on that side of the state are busy with fall harvest. Very
good demand for yearling steers and heifers, either those off grass or coming
out of a grow yard, there are plenty of buyers ready to compete heavily. There
has been new found support for the feeder cattle market, as the CME cattle
futures complex found new legs and shot up to new highs. This is a big turn
around as packers were trying to convince cattle feeders that they needed to
accept lower money in October. Cattle feeders are now feeling better again
about the prospects of the coming months in the fed cattle market. Corn
harvest is rolling fast as the weather has been dry and windy, helping to dry
the crop down quickly. Big progress is being made as those farmer feeders have
a little time now to take on those bawling calves.
