   Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves 3.00 to mostly 5.00
lower, except some front-end steer calves under 500 lbs steady, not 
enough yearlings to fully test the market.  Slaughter cows and bulls 2.00
lower.  Demand moderate to light, supply moderate.  Not many takers for
the high risk, un-weaned and short weaned calves, especially bull calves.

bulls.  The feeder supply included 38 percent steers, 47 percent heifers,
14 percent bulls, with 17 percent over 600 lbs.

Butler – Mo-Kan Livestock Auction
Feeder Cattle Report for 10/17/2018

Receipts:  1039    Week Ago:  918    Year Ago:  Not reported

   Compared to last week, a few comparable sales of steers traded steady to
3.00 lower but for the most part a sharp contrast in type and kind was
offered as mostly fleshy calves off the cow were brought to town this week
that sold with a lower undertone. It’s peak season for sick cattle and some
of the sharpest discounts of the year are seen for any cattle with health
risks, as well most of the feeders offered were carrying quite a little
flesh whether milk fat or from being fed hard. Supply was moderate and
demand was mostly moderate to light, good for steers under 525 lbs and a few
packages of yearling steers off grass. The feeder offering consisted of 55
percent steers and bulls and 45 percent heifers with 59 percent over 600
lbs. Cows and bulls totaled 20 percent of the offering. Slaughter cows sold
1.00-3.00 lower.
