Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder steers and stocker heifers less than 800 lbs steady to 6.00 lower. Feeder heifers over 800 lbs firm. Slaughter cows 6.00-9.00 lower as supply exceeds demand and some plants cut hours with an interest out of the market. Slaughter bulls steady. Trade active with good demand and good buyer attendance. Both ringside and on the internet. CME Feeder cattle ended the day 22 to 67 cents weaker. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was down another 4 cents on 1/19 to $161.20. Going into the monthly CoF report, analysts surveyed anticipate seeing 0.2% fewer cattle on feed as of Jan 1 than in 2021. That implies 11.943m head on average. December placements are expected to be between even with and 5% above Jan ’21, with 2.6% the average. The average estimate for December marketing's is 0.8% higher yr/yr.
