Signs of recovery

摘要

Seasonal spring strength in the feeder market is growing, while cull cow prices continue a steady march upward. Most producers have adequate forage to allow for normal marketing of feeders. A combined feeder/Thursday sale in Truro, N.S., on March 12 had strong feeder prices for quality calves across weight classes, with highs for good steers well into the mid-teens up to 700 Ibs. As with all feeder sales, well-muscled, properly-prepared calves sold strongly. Good buyer response provided typical movement of cattle to Prince Edward Island - 55 percent of the calves sold went there. Nationally feeder prices are showing encouraging signs of recovery.
