Compared to last week: Much lighter offering of feeder cattle, feeder steers steady to 2.00 lower in a narrow comparison, heifers steady to 4.00 lower. Several longer strings of backgrounded yearlings in the offering, along with smaller packages of lighter weight fall calves, flesh condition was attractive overall, many in a light condition. Demand only moderate at best, with the best demand centered on steers. As the CME Corn futures were higher, Feeder Cattle futures lower, and cash fed cattle struggling, cattle feeders are faced with much adversity. As they try to buy cattle with workable breakevens and feed costs become more of a factor heifers were much harder to sell than the steers. Annual customer appreciation BBQ sale next week, expecting 6,000 feeder cattle.
