Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 7/11/2018
Receipts: 583 Week Ago: 0 Year Ago: 398
Based on limited comparisons with the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers
steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady. Slaughter cows 3.00-4.00 higher.
Supply light. Near 10 percent of the offering were cows and 20 percent of the
feeders were over 600 lbs. Feeder supply approximately 56 percent steers and
bulls and 44 percent heifers. The cattle market itself looks good at the moment
with fed cattle trading 6.00/cwt higher last week just when we should be
reaching a summer low. However trade issues with China are creating lots of
uncertainty, pushing futures lower so far this week with nearby Aug live
cattle closing Wednesday at 103.85 which is about 10.00/cwt below last weeks
feedlot trade. This weeks feeder offering was mostly small packages with
overall below average quality.
