Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 06/30/2008
 
Receipts:  716    Last Week:  547    Year Ago:  432
 
   Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers, 500- 700 lbs were
2.00 to 4.00 higher.  Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 higher.  Supply was
mostly typical of a summer time run with small packages, singles, bull
calves, and odd lots; however, there were several strings of heavier
cattle in the run.  Few people were in the seats as crunch-time has
arrived with farmers putting up hay, planting late and double crop
beans, combining wheat, and spraying crops.  Cows and bulls were
9 percent of receipts.  In the feeder supply, steers and bulls were
51 percent of the run; heifers 49 percent.  Near 71 percent of
feeders weighed over 600 lbs.
