Market Report 4/29/13



Trends:  The market was higher today compared with last week with calves mostly steady to 3.00 higher, spots up to 5-6 higher on high quality offerings. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00-3.00 higher. Most of the talk after the sale centered around the corn planting and how fast the sodbusters could get the seed planted when the conditions allow. Corn futures were up the limit on all the talk of late planting and as a result feeder cattle were down 100+ points. I think we will be on this up and down ride until some solid information is known about how large the corn crop will be.
