JC_LS760 Jefferson City, MO Wed Mar 13, 2019 USDA-MO Dept of Ag Market News Kingsville-Kingsville Livestock Auction Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 03/12/2019 Receipts: 2225 Last Week: 1145 Year Ago: 2576 Compared to last week, steers and heifers traded steady to 4.00 higher except for heifers under 500 lbs selling with a lower undertone. Demand was moderate to good for the long weaned cattle and moderate to light in spots for consignments of un-weaned or fleshy calves and heifers under 500 lbs. Weather and pen conditions are very unfavorable for buyers to receive those higher risk cattle with more rain in the forecast and plenty of mud to go around. Supply was moderate and the feeder offering consisted of near 46 percent steers and bulls and 54 percent heifers with 65 percent over 600 lbs. Cows and bulls totaled 15 percent of the offering. Slaughter cows sold steady.
