Receipts This Week: 9080 Last Week: 11,784 Last Year: 12,083
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 2.00-5.00 lower.
Steer and heifer calves are steady but with a heavier supply of long
weaned and thin fleshed cattle being offered. Demand moderate to
good with least action on 800-900 lb. steers and 700-800 lb. heifers.
Corn prices moved higher as USDA reports showing grain stocks much
lower. This news spilled over into the feeder cattle pit causing
feeder futures to decline. Demand continues very good for lightweight
thin fleshed cattle. Many of these cattle are already headed to grass
accounts. Quality average to attractive. Weigh-ups showed the complete
range of gaunt to full. Supply included 70 percent over 600 lbs and 38
percent heifers.
