NATIONAL FEEDER & STOCKER CATTLE SUMMARY - WEEK ENDING 04/20/2024
RECEIPTS: Auctions Direct Video/Internet Total
This Week: 167,700 44,900 70,900 283,500
Last Week: 167,600 32,300 7,200 207,100
Year Ago: 198,400 43,100 6,600 248,100
Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold uneven; 3.00 lower to 3.00
higher. Good demand for all weights of steers and heifers despite the lower
CME Live Cattle futures contracts in recent weeks. The supply of feeders was
moderate with many reporters noting a change in the make-up of the feeder
supply in some states over the last two or three weeks. Some have a much
larger percentage of the offering changing to short or non-weaned new crop
calves carrying a bit more flesh and not providing that immediate gain for
new owners. Turnout time is very near, which is keeping the demand for grass
cattle red hot. Demand remains good although prices are at lower levels.
Other auction markets mostly in the Southern Plains are seeing yearlings
coming off wheat at their auction markets. Cattle feeders continue to be
disappointed as the April futures contract won't rise to meet the cash fed
cattle market and is holding at a level 10.00 below breakeven price for many
cattle. The feeder cattle market remains incredibly stout, and the
competition is great even at these new lower Live Cattle futures prices of
the 170s for the summer and fall months. The Feeder Cattle futures contracts
remain 15.00 plus below their earlier levels but that hasn't put a damper on
the feeder market at all. Spring planting is running at full force and a
much progress has been made over the last two weeks. Moisture is still very
much a concern, although it has been nice for field work being this dry in
April is not a good way to start the year. Hay producers are concerned about
forage tonnage again as lack of moisture and some early higher temperatures
has pushed some forages to head out two to three weeks early. There was even
some haying that took place last week in Missouri, most of which will be
wrapped. On the hay side of things in Kansas, demand remains low to moderate
for all hay and prices are soft for all regions. There still seems to be no
interest in buying and no new crop pricing has been reported. The word
"drought" is on many producers' minds and lips, as warm, dry, and windy
weather has dominated. Some regions report a blue tinge to the wheat and the
alfalfa fields are exhibiting some stress. The monthly Cattle on Feed report
was released on Friday afternoon with On Feed number at 101 pct of a year
ago. Neutral to slightly positive placements were reported 88 pct and
Marketings 86 pct of a year ago. The CME Cattle Complex was considerably
higher this past week with out front Live Cattle contracts were 4.00 to 5.00
higher, while the deferred Feeder Cattle contracts were 7.00 to 8.00 higher.
On a financial note, The Rural Mainstreet Index increased to 45.8 this month
from last month’s (lowest since 2000) 38.0. The most common factors that
pushed the Index lower was higher interest rates, weaker ag commodity prices
and higher grain storage costs. The was the eighth straight month that the
Index was below growth neutral. Live sales of negotiated cash fed cattle
trade in the Southern Plains sold steady at 182.00. In Nebraska, live sales
sold mostly 1.00 lower at 183.00 a few up to 184.00, while the dressed sales
sold steady to 1.00 lower at 292.00 to 293.00. Choice boxed beef closed the
week 4.90 lower at 295.67 while Select was 4.71 lower at 290.83 for the same
period. Weekly Cattle Slaughter under federal inspection estimated at 620K,
17K more than last week and 5K less than a year ago. Auction volume this
week included 50 percent weighing over 600 lbs and 44 percent heifers.
