Weekly Cattle Summary
Compared to last week: Steer calves
steady to 3.00 lower, heifer calves steady
with last week’s decline. Feeder cattle
steady in limited trade. Demand light to
moderate for calves. Supply mostly
calves. Yearlings in light supply, partic
ularly those suited for northern feedlots.
Early season wheat grazing prospects
are very questionable given dry condi
tions throughout major grazing belt.
Many feedlots already stuffed with
calves. Thus calf outlets are fairly
narrow and calf run is well underway.
Calf quality plain through attractive.
Quality of yearlings plain, few loads at
tractive. Calves in medium to fleshy con
ditions. Feeders in slightly thin to
moderate flesh. Calf weigh-ups mostly
average; yearling cattle in average to full
conditons.
Lean slaughter cows and slaughter
bulls 1.50-2.00 lower; boner and breaker
cows steady. Demand good for better
cows, light for thin cows and bulls.
Southern packers out of the market as
fall culling season is underway. Majority
of cows traveling to far north to kill.
Plenty of cows returned to country for
another try at raising a calf but good
quality types scarce. Total of 715 cows
and bulls sold with 40 percent going to
packers.
Receipts this week 11,150; last week
8,838; last year 9,808.
Supply consisted of 53% yearlings and
calves over 600 lbs; 41% calves under
600 lbs; 6% cows and bulls. Heifers
comprised 36% of feeder and calf
supply.
Prices follow with weighted average
weight and price in parenthesis.
