Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 11/17/2009
 
Receipts:  313    Week Ago:  926    Year Ago:  1405

   Compared to last week, too few feeders of any weight or class on hand for a 
price comparison. Slaughter cows steady to weak on a very light test. Lots of 
rain in the area the past couple of days brought cattle movement to a near halt. 
The couple loads and several large strings that were expected this week held off 
for next Tuesday’s sale and clearer weather. Supply and demand light. Cows and 
bulls accounted for 16 percent of the total offering. The feeder supply 
consisted of 45 percent steers and bulls and 55 percent heifers; 32 percent of 
all the feeders weighed over 600 lbs.
