JC_LS755 St. Joseph, MO Tue Jun 11, 2013 USDA-MO Dept of Ag Market News Maryville- United Producers Inc. Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 06/11/2013 Receipts: 956 Last Week: 1458 Year Ago: 2182 Compared to two weeks ago, a much lighter test of feeder cattle and calves sold firm to 3.00 higher. The best demand was noted for four loads of yearlings while the calf offering was made up of small bunches which did not push the market to its potential. Other than the load lots, buyers had a hard time making loads. Slaughter cows had a higher undertone when compared to the extremely light test of two weeks ago, while bulls were fully steady. Supply included 21 percent cows and bulls with the balance feeders. The feeder run had 56 percent steers and 44 heifers, 68 percent over 600 lbs.
