Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 05/06/2016
Receipts: 601 Last Week: 790 Year ago: 630
Compared to last week, a very light run of feeder cattle were not well tested
in any weight range with overall quality not very attractive on light receipts.
Markets this week have seen futures turn mostly positive but buyers remain very
cautious as previous losses have many remaining skeptical. A nice offering of
slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows accounted for 45
percent of the total receipts. In the feeder supply steers and bulls accounted
for 53 percent, heifers 47 percent and 23 percent weighed over 600 lbs.
