Market Notes
Compared to last week yearling feeders off summer grass sold mostly steady. Demand was good for the short supply of cattle on hand. Feedlots continued to seek out cattle to back fill empty pens. The eastern third of the state continues in the extreme and exceptional drought categories on the US drought monitor. Some dry land crops are done for the year and grass hay supplies are very short. As one moves to the west through the state the drought conditions are not as bad, but dryness lingers on in several areas. Feedlot sales slipped downward but still a very good market. Live sales sold 3.00 lower from 182.00 to 187.50 and dressed sales sold 6.00 lower at 290.00.Supply included: 81% Feeder Cattle (98% Steers, 1% Heifers, 1% Bulls); 19% Slaughter Cattle (100% Cows). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 97%.
