JC_LS181 Jefferson City, MO Sun Dec 30, 2018 USDA-MO Dept of Ag Market News Unionville Livestock Market LLC - Unionville, MO Livestock Weighted Average Report for 12/29/2018 AUCTION - SPECIAL Receipts Last Reported Year Ago (12/29/2018) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Receipts: 787 0 566 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Replacement Cattle: 787(100%) 0(0%) 566(100%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Demand was good, and at times very good, for this Annual Bred Cow and Heifer Sale at Unionville Livestock. A standing room only crowd was on hand with many in the seats intent on taking ownership of the high quality replacements available. The bulk of the offering consisted of bred heifers developed by one local producer. Most of the heifers on offer were of western origin and offered in gate cut lots after being sorted by calving date and fetal sex. Also highlighted was a complete dispersal of a local cowherd consisting of young to running age spring calvers. The reputation of all consignors in this sale was excellent which was reflected in the sale price of nearly all the stock, with prices only waning late in the day. Supply heavy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPLACEMENT CATTLE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BRED COWS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Head / Estimate Wt) Age Stage Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 2-4 T2-3 12 1300 1300 1960.00 1960.00 2-8 T2 8 1065 1065 1575.00 1575.00 5-8 T2-3 60 1400-1425 1416 1800.00-1850.00 1816.67 BRED COWS - Medium and Large 2 (Per Head / Estimate Wt) Age Stage Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 5-8 T2 12 1235-1300 1272 1150.00-1385.00 1287.08 BRED COWS - Large 1-2 (Per Head / Estimate Wt) Age Stage Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 5-8 T2 7 1415 1415 1525.00 1525.00 5-8 T3 15 1385-1450 1424 1435.00-1575.00 1519.00 >5 T3 7 1325 1325 1150.00 1150.00 BRED HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Head / Estimate Wt) Age Stage Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price <2 T2 102 1000-1150 1058 1325.00-1500.00 1416.67 <2 T2-3 13 1250 1250 1950.00 1950.00 <2 T3 350 1050-1200 1115 1635.00-1925.00 1773.36 BRED HEIFERS - Medium 1-2 (Per Head / Estimate Wt) Age Stage Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price <2 T2 14 1050 1050 1500.00 1500.00 <2 T3 45 1100 1100 1510.00-1700.00 1627.56 Please Note: The above USDA LPGMN price report is reflective of the majority of classes and grades of livestock offered for sale.
