As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady on limited comparable sales. Not enough comparable sales on steer or heifers for a market trend. Slaughter cows traded mostly 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were firm on a light test. Quality was mostly plain to average. The majority of the supply consisted of replacement cattle, and light weight calves straight off the cow. High winds accompanied by higher temperatures are further diminishing soil moisture conditions. According to the Cattle Market Report and Analysis, supplies of replacement cattle are dwindling, but the dry weather is forcing more cattle to market despite smaller numbers. Surveys of feeder cattle in central Texas, Oklahoma, and other regions usually supplying large quantities of replacement cattle to feedyards were reporting very few cattle to market for May delivery.
