JC_LS764 Jefferson City, MO Tue Jun 18, 2013 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News Palmyra- F and T Livestock Auction Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 06/17/2013 Receipts: 635 Week Ago: 112 Year Ago: 815 Very few feeder cattle comparisons with recent auctions, although the market was trading with a steady to firm undertone on weights with similar quality cattle marketed over the past month. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower compared to last week. Feeder run consisted of calves and yearlings which made piecing together full loads difficult, which is always the case this time of year. Warm and somewhat drier weather may allow the hay harvest to finally get underway this week. Demand moderate to good and the supply light. Cows and bulls accounted for 20 percent of the run and feeders 80 percent. In the feeder supply, steers and bulls made up approximately 65 percent of the run; heifers 35 percent; steers and heifers over 600 lbs totaled around 67 percent.
