# National feeder and stocker cattle report | Capital Press

> Federal-State market news reported feeder and stocker cattle receipts of 439,900 head for the week ending Aug. 23, far above last week and a year earlier. Drought in the North Plains pushed spring-born calves to market 2-3 months early, and demand for yearling steers and heifers was good to very good. Feeder prices rose while corn and soybean futures fell sharply that week.

## Why it matters

Early drought-driven calf marketings add feeder supply, but strong demand and lower grain costs support feeder prices. Cheaper feed favors cattle feeders' margins.
