FEEDER CATTLE            8336           3014    15964     
  
  
Compared to last week fresh bawling steers and heifers sold with a higher 
undertone. Feeder steers from 600 to 900 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower with 900 
lbs steers 15.00 lower and 1025 weights 9.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold steady 
to mostly 5.00 lower. Demand was good for fresh bawlers with moderate to good 
demand for yearling feeders. Bulk of the fresh calves came from Crawford area 
as there pastures are very dry, very short with little to no grass and ranchers 
selling some of there 2026 calf crop 2 to 3 months earlier than normal. Weaning 
calves, giving the cow time to regroup and hopefully put some condition on 
before winter. Spotty rain showers across the state along with quite a lot of 
hail in some areas and excessive wind damage to what stood in it's path. 
Another tough week in the CME cattle boards with spill over into the feedlot 
trade. Live sales sold steady to 5.00 lower at 225.00 and dressed sales sold 
7.00 to 12.00 lower from 355.00 to 356.00.
