JC_LS765 Jefferson City, MO Thu Dec 13, 2018 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News Vienna - South Central Regional Stockyards Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 12/12/2018 Receipts: 2049 Last Week: 1267 Year Ago: 828 Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers 5.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs 6.00-12.00 higher, over 500 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand good. Supply heavy. Near 7 percent of the offering were cows and 62 percent of the feeders were over 600 lbs. Feeder supply approximately 57 percent steers and bulls and 43 percent heifers. The feeder market is a new ball game this week after struggling under the weight of big receipts and poor weather last week. Several factors are helping the market with better weather, solid futures including a new April live cattle contract high and the eminent dwindling of numbers for 2018.
