Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 03/27/2015
***Final Report including bred cows and pairs***
Receipts: 33,000 Last Sale Mar 13th: 21,000
Compared to the last sale March 13th: Feeder steers and heifers 5.00-10.00 higher.
Calves not well tested but limited numbers for current delivery sold to very good demand.
Demand for feeder cattle remains very good as many feedyards are having to fill empty
pens with a relatively limited supply. Cash slaughter cattle prices jumped 3.00 last
week pushing prices higher than the futures board. This prompting feeders to sell and
stay current. Warmer temperatures and spring rains has greened up much of the country's
grass pastures thus boosting demand for the already light numbers of thin grazing
cattle. Supply included 57 percent steers and heifers over 600 lbs, 62 percent of supply
steers and 38 percent heifers. Receipts included 51 percent from South Central, 17
percent North Central, 19 percent East, 13 percent West. Prices FOB based on net weights
after a 2-3 percent pencil shrink or equivalent, with a 4-8 cent slide on yearlings and
8-12 cent slide on calves. Deliveries current through December 2015.
