Ericson cattle sales report

The Ericson Spalding Livestock Auction, Ericson, Neb., reported receipts of 3,500 head July 14, compared to 4,700 head last year, according to the USDA-Nebraska Department of Agriculture Market News, Kearney, Neb.

Compared with two weeks ago, comparable weights and classes were too few to establish an adequate market trend, although a definite higher undertone should be noted. Demand and trade activity were very good for offerings of mostly ranched-raised, one-iron cattle with weigh-in conditions in the buyer's favor. Receipts consisted of 43% steers and 57% heifers, with 85% weighing over 600 pounds.

Feeder steers: Medium and large frame 1, 14 head, 519 lbs., 132.50; 41 head, 549 lbs., 139.00 fancy; 562 to 595 lbs., 132.00 to 136.00 (133.53); 17 head, 637 lbs., 130.00; 656 to 668 lbs., 128.85 to 132.50 (130.86); 704 to 731 lbs., 118.00 to 121.00 (119.41); 757 to 793 lbs., 117.10 to 119.25 (118.83); 808 to 826 lbs., 114.25 to 117.50 (116.25); 69 head, 892 lbs., 112.35; 11 head, 934 lbs., 109.75.
