JC_LS750 Jefferson City, MO Wed May 15, 2013 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News Unionville Livestock Market, Inc Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 05/14/2013 Receipts: 1705 2 Weeks Ago: 489 Year Ago: 732 Very few comparisons with the light receipts from the previous auction two weeks ago; looking back to four weeks ago calves traded mostly steady with yearling steers and heifers 2.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00-7.00 higher compared to two weeks ago. Many of the new crop calves showing up with more flesh than buyers desire which adds a discount to the price. A good offering of cattle for this late into the Spring with several loads of yearlings to go along with a healthy supply of calves. Warmer and drier weather (at least for today) has many farmers in the fields. Demand moderate to good and supply moderate to heavy. Cows and bulls accounted for 8 percent of the run and feeders 92 percent. In the feeder supply, steers and bulls made up approximately 60 percent of the run; heifers 40 percent; steers and heifers over 600 lbs totaled around 65 percent. Scheduling note: The next feeder sale is Tuesday, May 28.
