JC_LS763 Jefferson City, MO Wed Nov 18, 2009 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News West Plains- Ozarks Regional Stockyards Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 11/17/2009 Receipts: 2200 Last Week: 4834 Year Ago: 4433 Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 2.00 lower, although heavy 6 weight heifers were 2.00-4.00 lower than last week’s sharp upturn. Supply light, contributed mainly to the first week of Missouri’s Annual Deer Season. Also, the weather front of cold rain and drizzle put a halt on movement of a few deals as well. Demand light to moderate, but continued best on higher quality, uniform bunches with shots. It’s apparent that last week’s fat cattle market being 3.00-4.00 lower along with higher feed cost dulled the edge of any positive ideas near term on feeder cattle, along with several reports of some feedlots currently being pretty much at capacity levels. That in itself has never been real good news. Supply consisted of 61 percent steers and 39 percent heifers. Near 42 percent weighed over 600 lbs.
