Compared to Thursday, slaughter Steers sold
mostly steady. The Monday ran included
around 250 head of steers which provided for a
good market test However, on Tuesday most
area producers were busy in the Adds as the
weather finally cooperated enough to allow
them to roll up some hay; with Tuesday's re
ceipts barely breaking 100 head, the market was
not fully te*ed. The quality of the two-run was
mixed, but did include some well-fed lots that
continue to bring from 80.00-83.00 if they are
high Choice or Prime. There were also quite a
few under finished steers that were weighing
from 1000-1150 lbs, and sold at a discount to
the Choice supply; which comes to no surprise
as there are several local producers that have
ran very low on feed. The slaughter Holstein
steer, and the slaughter heifer supplies were to
light to test Breaking and Boning cows sold
steady to 1.00 lower, with Lean slaughter cows
trending steady to 1.00 higher as the cutter cow
carcass cutout value was 2.26 higher on Tues
day.
Slaughter bulls sold 2.00-3.00 lower. The two
day run included 346 steers, 12 heifers, 326
cows, 22 bulls, with 14 head of feeder cattle.
Slaughter Steers: High Choice and Prime 2-4
1145-1430 lbs 81.50-83.50. Choice 2-3
1100-1480 lbs 77.00-80.25, few full 76.25-77.00.
