JC_LS759 Jefferson City, MO Wed Dec 12, 2018 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News Cuba - Interstate Regional Stockyards Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 12/11/2018 Receipts: 1960 Last Week: 1916 Year Ago: 1121 Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs 5.00-8.00 higher, over 550 lbs firm to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 4.00-12.00 higher, over 550 lbs 1.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand good. Supply heavy. Near 8 percent of the offering were cows and 48 percent of the feeders were over 600 lbs. Feeder supply approximately 55 percent steers and bulls and 45 percent heifers. Much different feel to the feeder trade this week, especially in the lighter cattle, with improved weather, higher Tuesday futures and a few more takers out to get in on the last big receipts of 2018. The market may have gotten a bit of a psychological boost as well after last week’s massive slaughter delivered a reminder of how demand is continuing to chew through market ready cattle.
