If these early prices are an indication of what’s to come, Napoleon Livestock Auction owner Paul Bitz is looking forward to the fall feeder run. “A 900-pound steer can bring $2.50-$2.55 and an 800-pound steer is at $2.55-ish. The market is good so I think it’s going to be a wild time for me to hand out checks this fall.” Pasture conditions as decent. Bitz said some producers may choose to hold onto feeders longer if they have the grass.
