Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 11/18/2009
 
Receipts:  513    Last Week:  1546    Year Ago:  3557
 
   Compared to last week, steers and heifers were mostly 3.00 to 5.00 
lower in a light test.  Weather and lot conditions in the immediate 
trade area has not been the best this week as snow fell throughout 
the day on Monday and rain off and on all week so far also hampered 
movement of cattle.  The upcoming holiday next week in conjunction 
with the aforementioned conditions left many order buyers on the 
sidelines this week.  Supply included 76 percent steers, 22 percent 
heifers and 2 percent feeder bulls with 42 percent of the run 
weighing over 600 lbs.
