Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 02/28/2019
 
Receipts:  4007    Two Weeks Ago:  5850    Year Ago:  4683
 
Compared to two weeks ago:  steers 550 to 650 lbs and 700 to 750 
lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower, other weight classes of steers not well 
compared.  Heifers 550 to 650 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, 651 to 750 
lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower, 751 to 800 lbs mostly steady.  Moderate to 
good demand for today's offering featuring some loads and many 
packages.  The majority of the offering today was heifers, many of 
these Bangs vaccinated, and while quality was attractive, few went 
back to the country to become cows.  Some plain to average quality 
cattle also included in the offering today as producers clean out 
their pens to prepare for calving.  Flesh today mostly moderate 
overall, as the cold weather is keeping the cattle from putting on 
a lot of condition.  A moderate market with the continued tough 
weather putting some pressure on the market.  Steers made up 41 
percent of the offering, heifers 59 percent, 85 percent over 600 lbs.
Next feeder cattle sale is next Thursday, March 7.
