JC_LS763 Jefferson City, MO Wed May 15, 2013 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News West Plains- Ozarks Regional Stockyards Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 05/14/2013 Receipts: 3400 Last Week: 2105 Year Ago: 3911 Compared to last week, steers under 750 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, with several 450-500 lbs 2.00-4.00 higher than last week’s sharp downturn. Weights over 750 lbs although not well tested in the previous sale were 1.00-3.00 lower. Heifers were steady to 2.00 lower, although 4 weights along with those of lesser quality or more undesirable kinds sold 2.00-6.00 lower, spots 8.00 lower. Supply moderate, with several pot loads of 800-1035 Lb steer cattle that possibly had been held anticipating a stronger market that never did develop because of high cost of gain. Locally, hay season is now open, as some farmer/producers are just getting started, others awaiting the chance of rain in the immediate forecast to pass, but with days like Tuesday there should be little to no problem with the curing stage. Supply consisted of 68 percent steers, 32 percent heifers. Near 70 percent over 600 lbs.
