Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 5.00 to 10.00 lower, except 850-900 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 700 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 lower, over 700 lbs 5.00 lower except 800-850 lbs steady to 1.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for grass cattle and feeding type cattle, very good demand for the many consignments of replacement quality heifers. Many long strings, including one consignment of 1080 head of steers and heifers, which saw many full load lots. There were numerous smaller consignments which allowed buyers to put together small bunches and fill out their loads. The severe drought conditions, extreme drought in the northwest and north central part of the state, are causing many heifers to come to town that otherwise would never leave the ranch until they were a broken mouth cow. Cattle feeders are trying to get cattle bought in line with a rapidly declining futures market and an exploding corn market. The market was still fairly active as the quality was so attractive and the flesh condition was light overall. Many cattle were just roughed along this winter and stayed kicked out on grass and showed a lot of compensatory gain which really helped to sell them as costs of gain are so important in a tough market. CME Feeder Cattle futures contracts posted gains of nearly 2.00 but corn futures gained another 7 cents with May at 6.58. Next special feeder cattle sale will be May 7, 2021.
