Carthage- Joplin Regional Stockyards
Feeder Cattle Auction Close for 11/16/2009

Receipts:  4134    Last Week:  6215    Year Ago:  7379

  Compared to last week, yearling steers and steer calves steady to 1.00
lower, yearling heifers and heifer calves 1.00 to 3.00 lower.  Demand and
supply moderate.  Feeder cattle market under pressure from lower CME cattle
contracts and higher CBOT Corn contracts.  Beef demand sluggish as the upcoming
holidays tend to favor other meats.  A big change from sunshine and warm
temperatures to cool, wet weather curtailed the receipts.  The feeder supply
included 58 percent steers, 36 percent heifers, 06 percent bulls, with 46
percent over 600 lbs.

***Note: Joplin Regional Stockyards is expecting 4000 to 5000 head of yearlings
and several Wean-Vac calves for the auction next Monday, November 23, 2009.
