26 Mar '24
Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold 5.00-15.00 lower and yearlings sold 3.00-7.00 lower. A couple pieces of news this week are working negatively against the market including an expectedly bearish Cattle On Feed report. Also, despite there being no health risk to the food supply, the news of some dairy cattle infected with "Bird Flu" moved cattle futures sharply lower Tuesday with the negative media attention. A nice run of yearlings was on hand with the majority offered in load lots. Also, there were more new crop calves in the offering this week and the quality was good but several were still pretty soft and carrying some flesh. Supply and demand were moderate. Slaughter cows sold steady to 6.00 higher, bulls steady.
