FEEDER CATTLE 3673 8803 3943
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 1414 827 1501
Compared to last week steer and heifer calves weaned and bawlers sold sharply
higher as most weight were fully 20.00 per cwt higher. Yearling steers and
heifers sold unevenly steady. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 1.00 to 2.00
higher, slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher and bulls 1.00 higher. Demand
was good to instances very good with only two feeder auction reporting this
week. Farmers are getting the crops out and the farmer/feeder is getting ready
for cattle to be backgrounded or finished. With low numbers of available
cattle producers are pushing the price higher in order to get cattle procured.
Bulk of the sale comprised of steer cattle with a small percentage of heifers
hitting the market. Are producers keeping heifers back or just growing them to
see what a 7 weight heifer will be worth after the first of the year?
