Eastern Combelt Direct Feeder Cattle
Summary Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
and Ohio: Compared to last week, feeder
steers were steady to weak and heifers
were 1.00-7.00 higher compared to last
week’s sales. Futures prices were lower
and demand was light after this week's
news that a case of BSE was found in
Canada but the market seemed to recover
at week’s end. The recent spring rains
have produced excellent pastures for
grazing which has spurred on good de
mand for light weight calves. Many area
producers ate still concentrating on plant-
ing their crops and did not actively mar
ket their feeders this week. Reported sales
consisted of about 18% beef steers, 82%
heifers and 0% Holstein steers. Approxi
mately 87% of the cattle marketed this
week weighed over 600 lbs. Confirmed
sales 800 this week, 800 last week and
1000 last year.
FEEDER STEERS: Medium and
Large 1-2:800-825 lbs 80.00.
HOLSTEIN STEERS: Medium and
Large 3: no test.
FEEDER HEIFERS: Medium and
Large 1-2: 500-525 lbs 90.50; 650-725 lbs
85.00-86.50; 725-825 lbs 76.50-78.75.
Prices are based FOB the farm unless
otherwise indicated. Delivered prices in
