Receipts: 825 Week ago: 1405 Year ago: not avail.
Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves weighing 400-550 lbs on a
light test sold near steady to 3.00 lower, with 550-600 lb steer calves selling
5.00-8.00 lower on a light test. Feeders over 600 lbs were not well tested with
last week's larger receipts. Feeder supply consisted of mostly small packages
and bunches of calves weighing between 400-550 lbs with several un-weaned and
carrying flesh. Over-night rains and falling temperatures had receipts and
orders backing off some as demand was moderate to good on calves. Feeder supply
consisted of 46 percent steers and bulls, 54 percent heifers and near 47 percent
weighing over 600 lbs. Slaughter cows accounted for near 28 percent of the
total receipts. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to 1.00 higher.
