Compared to last week, there were too few head across all weight ranges for an adequate comparison, however undertones were higher. Demand was good on a very light supply. The supplies were lighter than typical for Thanksgiving week with only one draft larger than 25 head. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report,released Friday, didn't send shockwaves throughout the beef industry like it did last month. According to the report, Inventories were up 2 percent, Placements were up 4 percent and Marketings were down 3 percent. These numbers were close to analysts' predictions except for Placements which were 3 percent lower and more bullish. Contributing factors included slower chain speeds by the processors and more Beef on Dairy Calves taking longer to finish.
