Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold uneven; 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher.
After last week’s sharp increase in grazing calf values, aggressiveness of buyers was
tempered somewhat this week. Cattle feeders and backgrounders are very bullish
currently as the cash market is outperforming the futures, there is great hope that
the cash market will continue at these levels. Very few sales remain before the end
of the year and buyers want to make sure they get the cattle bought that they need.
Commercial bred cows hitting new records at area auctions. Several long-time ranchers
are having complete or partial dispersions. Some may be retiring; others could be
thinking it's very dry and it’s time to sell when the price is really good or both
scenarios. The WASDE (Supply and Demand) report came out on Tuesday with new-crop
U.S. ending stocks estimates reported as bullish for corn, neutral to slightly
bearish on soybeans, and slightly bullish for wheat. Increase in feedstuffs could
certainly play a factor getting through the winter and into next year on the bottom
line of ranchers that are cutting it close on breakevens. The forecast for 2025
cattle prices were raised on tighter than expected cattle and beef supplies. Cash
fed cattle market rose up to 196.00, the CME Live Cattle futures couldn't keep pace
