SF_LS758 Sioux Falls, SD Thu May 16, 2013 USDA-SD Dept Ag Market News Mitchell Livestock Auction - Mitchell, SD Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 05/16/2013 Receipts: 4,178 Week Ago: 4930 Year Ago: 1719 Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 2.00 higher. Very good demand for this large run of yearling steers and heifers and short run of fall born calves. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed to moderate plus, heavier fleshed cattle met with as good as demand as light fleshed cattle. Receipts remain heavy for this time of year, most of today’s cattle were from backgrounding lots yet there were cattle here today that were held over the winter for summer grazing but short grass conditions forced their sale. Steers made up 52 percent of the run, heifers 48 percent. 89 percent of the run was over 600 lbs. Next week 4,000+ feeders.
