Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 04/03/2020

 

Receipts: 904          Week Ago: 1447           Year ago: 954

 

   

   Compared to last week, a limited test this week on steers and heifers, 

but a few comparable sales of steers weighing 600-750 lbs selling mostly 

15.00-20.00 lower and heifers weighing 500-700 lbs trading 10.00-15.00 

lower.  Demand was moderate with supply light to moderate.  Slaughter 

cows sold 10.00-15.00 lower.  Sharp losses have continued on the CME 

cattle futures as a bearish grip has a strong hold on the cattle markets.  

There is a lot of drama going on in the markets with fears of the unknown 

as pandemic concerns fill the headlines, also with state shut downs and 

reportedly some packing plants having labor issues are all taking a toll 

on the markets.
