Latest Superior Livestock Market Report Reflects Continued Premiums for Value Added Cattle
Mon, 09 Mar 2020 05:21:46 CDT
Superior Livestock Auction hosted their March 5th Video Auction live from the Superior Livestock Studio in Fort Worth, TX. Cattle producers offered 24,304 head of calves, yearlings and breeding stock from 24 states for this auction. Cattle were sold on contract to deliver immediately through the end of May 2020. Superior Livestock went live at 7:30am CT with Superior Sunrise and the auction followed at 8am CT. This March 5th Video Auction was broadcast on SLA-TV, Dish Network Ch. 997 and streamed on Superior Livestock Auction's Click To Bid website. A downwardly trending national market report has everyone paying attention and several outside influences continue to play a role; but one thing remained very evident yesterday, producers who invested in value-added programs continued to see premiums despite the market conditions.
Feeder steers and heifers from regions 3/4/5/6 experienced the uncertainty of the market and were met with lower prices than two weeks ago. The same can be said for feeder steers and heifers from regions 1/2 who were met with demand but also discounted prices. Thursday's market proved to be a testimony to Superior's value-added programs as feeder steers and heifers that were marketed on various programs saw premiums as much as $20 to $30 over their non-program contemporaries. All regions of weaned calves saw strong demand as moisture of much of the country gave a boost to grazing cattle who remained steady.
