Sioux Falls Feeder Cattle - Sioux Falls, SD
Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 10/09/2008
 
Receipts:  41    Last Week:  172    Year Ago:  230
 
After a week of wild fluctuations in the cattle and grain futures, 
a declining cattle market and local producers trying to complete 
the bean harvest, receipts were minimal today. Most of the 
offerings were in drafts of 4 head or less; therefore, a short 
report is the result. Reported receipts 100 percent steers. 100 
percent weighed over 600 lbs. Buyer attendance limited with light 
demand.
