Compared to last week: Much larger offering of feeder cattle this week, steers under 800 lbs not well tested last week to offer a comparison, over 800 lbs steady to 1.00 higher with an instance of 4.00 higher on 950-1000 lbs. Feeder heifers steady to 2.00 higher with an instance of 4.00 higher on 800-850 lbs. Very good demand for this large offering of feeder cattle. Many long strings of backgrounded yearling steers and heifers offered in full loads and multiple load lots. Flesh condition was uneven as there were light fleshed cattle while also plenty of cattle in a much heavier flesh condition, however there were plenty of buyers for all as Oct, Dec and Feb Live Cattle are much higher than the spot month on the board. Weighing conditions were attractive for buyers as many cattle came in overnight and the very hot weather had cattle carrying less fill. Corn prices rose back towards 7.00 but the market was very active as buyers wanted to get these strings of cattle bought while they can. Drought conditions remain, temps in the high 90s all week, with no relief in the forecast is keeping concern high that feed costs could rise further.
