Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 03/07/2019
 
Receipts:  1486    Last Week:  4007    Year Ago:  0
 
Too few cattle today to compare to last week's large offering and 
develop an accurate trend.  Moderate demand for today's offering of a
handful of loads and packages.  Around 1000 head of cancellations 
due to the storm earlier this week as some producers are still trying
to dig out.  Quality varied, loads were mostly attractive quality 
and packages more plain to average.  Flesh mostly light to 
moderate, the harsh weather is keeping the cattle green, especially 
hay fed calves.  A moderate market with a very limited crowd of 
buyers and producers attending the auction today.  Heavy snowfall and
wind predicted for this weekend which will likely impact travel at the
beginning week.  Steers made up 61 percent of the feeders, heifers 
39 percent, 68 percent over 600 lbs.  Next feeder cattle sale is next
Thursday, March 14, weather permitting.
