Cattle Auction Report for 02/08/2010

Receipts:  140    One Week Ago:  944    Year Ago:  1551

this week for a good price comparison.  With snow falling and a winter
weather advisory in effect, supply was very light.  However, demand was
good especially considering the weather forecast of blowing snow and
bitter temps.  Slaughter cows had a light test with most cows showing
more fill than normal.  Cows and bulls were 31 percent of receipts.  In
the feeder supply, steers and bulls were 53 percent of the run; heifers
47 percent.  Near 19 percent of feeders weighed over 600 lbs.
