In The Cattle Markets Dillon Feuz, Ph.D.
Last week, slaughter cattle prices were $1 higher in the southern plains, with the bulk of the trade occurring on Friday at mostly $66. Trading occurred earlier in the week in the north at sharply higher prices, with slaughter cattle prices at mostly $103 (dressed weight). Boxed beef prices were steady for the week. Feeder cattle prices in the Midwest traded on both sides of steady money compared to the previous week. There continues to be seasonally large calf offerings.
