JC_LS759 Jefferson City, MO Wed Mar 13, 2019 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News Cuba- Interstate Regional Stockyards Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 03/12/2019 Receipts: 1193 Last Week: 181 Year Ago: 1225 Compared to two weeks ago, feeder steers mostly steady with some near 600 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher. Feeder heifers mostly steady with some near 500 lbs 2.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Supply moderate. Near 18 percent of the offering were cows and 31 percent of the feeders were over 600 lbs. Feeder supply approximately 53 percent steers and bulls and 47 percent heifers. Wide variation in the feeders as the good quality bawling fall calves showed up, seemingly a few weeks early with many producer resources running on fumes at this point. Also some packages of medium flesh cattle weighing 650-825 lbs, with the balance and generally higher priced cattle being the green, long-time weaned cattle that probably think it has been a long, wet, muddy, cold east wind, miserable wretch of a winter.
