Demand moderate to good. Bullish Cattle on Feed report last Friday with the lowest on feed number since 2017 and the lowest January placement since 2007. Cattle futures traded in the red on Monday. Again, reiterating what we have been saying for a while, numbers remain very tight but other happenings in the industry are weighing the cattle futures down. Quality average to attractive. Weather remains extremely dry with another worry of wildfires coming on Tuesday. Looks like some wheat cattle are being pulled a little early and at lighter weights.
