As filed

Lighter run of in-barn cattle by half today compared to last week, however Feeder offering bolstered by four Board Sale loads: two each of Steers and Heifers. The Board results can be found on this report as Steers / Heifers Medium and Large 1--2. Good buyer attendance with firm interest considering last week was a Feeder Special with much higher offering.

Feeder demand lowered the most for 4 weight Steers by $10-$11 per cwt, easing to $1-$4 lower in the middle of the run before increasing $4.75-$8.50 higher for 6 weights. Heifers followed a similar trend but with demand rising, selling $2.25 higher in the 4 weights and $8 per cwt higher throughout the middle and heavy end of the run. Feeder Bulls $3-$6 per cwt higher for lighter cutting Bulls. The seller should note that Value Added Feeders coming in off a long weaning period and guaranteed health program sold $6-$12 per cwt higher with most hitting the $8 per cwt higher mark.

Finishing up with Slaughter Cattle a slightly lower demand follows the trend of the past three weeks; $1-$2-$3 per cwt lower over the quality breaks from Breaker-Boner-Lean. However, higher dressing types sold steady as well as Bulls selling steady, spot on from last reported.

Baby calves, $112.50-$230 per head. Shoats, $30-$42.50 per head. Slaughter Hogs, $50-$75 per cwt.
