SJ_LS750 St. Joseph, MO Wed May 15, 2013 USDA-MO Dept of Ag Market News St. Joseph, MO Stockyards Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 05/15/2013 Receipts: 1723 Last Week: 2232 Year Ago: 842 Compared to last week, steer calves sold steady with heifer calves trading 3.00-5.00 lower with discounts especially severe on fleshy and/or unweaned heifer calves. Yearling feeder cattle were 2.00-3.00 lower on a much lighter and more uneven test than last week. Supplies of feeder cattle are running dry and the offering was widely mixed as producers sell-out. With spring planting in high gear and most cattle turned-out, offerings are expected to be much lighter until mid-summer yearling consignments come to town. Supplies included 53 percent steers, 40 percent heifers, and 7 percent feeder bulls. Around 43 percent of the run weighed over 600 lbs.
