As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers 7.00 to 11.00 higher, with instances of 36.00 higher on lighter steers. The market was crazy active today. Demand for light grass calves was good, buyers were very actively bidding on 700 lbs to 900 lb steers and heifers. Several eye catching packages of 1000lb or more steers got bidders attention as well as they have been harder to find. A couple large consignments of heifers and steers offered along with several smaller packages giving buyers the options to fill loads. Most cattle were hauled in overnight, had 3 rounds of shots and grass green flesh condition. Report on Friday stated, placements in feedlots during the month of April totaled 1.75 million 4% below 2022. Cattle on feed reported at 11.6 million on May 1 3% below the same time last year. CME Feeder Cattle closed lower today while, Corn took a big jump. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Bulls steady to 1.00 higher.
