Salina feeder cattle sale results
The Farmers and Ranchers Livestock Commission, Salina, Kansas, reported receipts of 2,342 head selling on March 5 compared to 701 head selling Feb. 27, according to USDA-Kansas Department of Agriculture Market News, Dodge City, Kansas.
No price trend was available due to limited comparable sales. Severe winter weather coupled with declining market conditions caused producers to hold on to supplies, resulting in very light receipts. As weather and market conditions improved, supplies returned to normal. A higher undertone prevailed on steers and heifers. The trade and demand were moderate. The supply included 100% feeder cattle (61% steers, 39% heifers and 0% bulls). The feeder cattle supply weighing over 600 pounds was 84%.
