JC_LS765 Jefferson City, MO Thu May 17, 2018 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News Vienna- South Central Regional Stockyards Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 05/16/2018 Receipts: 2076 Last Week: 732 Year Ago: 1643 Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs 3.00-6.00 lower, 550-650 lbs steady with no comparisons available from last week on weights over 650 lbs. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower, over 450 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Supply heavy. Near 6 percent of the offering were cows and 38 percent of the feeders were over 600 lbs. Feeder supply approximately 60 percent steers and bulls and 40 percent heifers. Some fed trade took place Wednesday at 115.00-116.00/cwt, 6.00-7.00 lower than last week. Packer margins are phenomenal right now but the supply situation seems to be to the point of leaving feedlots with very little leverage.
