Green City- Green City Livestock Auction
Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 11/18/2009

Receipts:  430    Week Ago:  1960    Year Ago:  2260

   Compared to last week, not enough feeder steers or heifers for a
good price test.  Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower.  Four straight days
of rain has made feeding and handling cattle difficult with several
sellers postponing sales until next week because of the weather.
Demand and supply light.  Cows and bulls accounted for 22 percent of
the run and feeders 78 percent.  In the feeder supply, steers made up
approximately 60 percent of the run and heifers 40 percent.  Offerings
over 600 lbs totaled around 10 percent.
