Compared to last week, supply on feeders remained light, with better offerings of quality feeder cattle overall. Demand was significantly stronger, with feeders selling $25.00 to $35.00 higher. Buyer confidence appeared to improve following substantial gains in the cattle futures market last week. Slaughter cattle sold steady to $5.00 lower.
USDA Market News report narrative
Looking ahead, cattle receipts over the coming weeks will provide an important indication of available supply. If auction numbers remain light compared to the same period a year ago, it could signal tighter supplies and continued support for the market.
