The market was 5-6 higher on the lighter calves with good demand; especially if they were weaned. The 5&6 weight bawling calves were steady. The longer weaned calves were 3 higher and had good demand, asking as they were thinner fleshed. The feeder cattle were steady to 2 lower. This was mainly due to the losses in the futures market and the corn prices soaring. The feeder cattle that are going straight to the yards are going to have a hard time gaining any ground with the feed cost. The stock cows were 50 lower, but we are still not having very many young cows. The weather doesn’t help much in getting anyone interested in adding to their herds. The bulk of the cows are still old. The packer cows were steady with the big carcass fleshy cows being 2-4 higher. A lot of the cow packers have several cows locked up in feedyards right now and with grain prices getting high, they will be trying to kill them and get them off the feed bill. I don’t feel like the packer cows will move up much in price. We hope everyone had a great Christmas and wonderful New Year and we look forward to working for you in 2021.
