Wet feedlot conditions and snow storm in north turned feeder demand light. Steer and heifer calves steady to 2.00 higher. Demand good for lighter calves suitable for early wheat pasture, but fairly light for heavy end of calves. Feeder cattle quality mostly plain, few either attractive or thin. Calf quality genetically average to attractive. However, calf flesh condition moderate to fleshy and this several degrees more than last week. Bulk supply continues calves. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00 higher. Demand good from packets, feeders, and replacement buyers. Buying momentum has switched from the north to the south as south Texas packers become aggressive for cows at auction to fill their slaughter needs. This the first time since drought runs began in spring that south Texas has been a power player in this cow market. 55 percent of the 1,400 cows and bulls went to packets with balance to feed ers, grazers, and cow-calf operators. Receipts this week 14,100; last week 8,924; last year 12,886. Supply consisted of 38 percent yearlings and calves over 600 lbs; 52 percent calves under 600 lbs; 10 percent cows and hulls.
