JC_LS759 Jefferson City, MO Wed Feb 20, 2019 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News Cuba- Interstate Regional Stockyards Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 02/19/2019 Receipts: 557 Last Week: 1011 Year Ago: 728 Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs not well tested, over 600 lbs 1.00-3.00 lower based on limited comparable sales. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs not well tested, over 550 lbs near steady. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate. Supply light. Near 12 percent of the offering were cows and 62 percent of the feeders were over 600 lbs. Feeder supply approximately 72 percent steers and bulls and 28 percent heifers. Several cattle carrying some mud this week. Receipts were limited by more incoming winter weather. The board was higher Tuesday with April live cattle making a new contract high. As storms continue to create poor feedlot conditions the potential for a fed cattle weather rally increase as people will likely begin to stir and beef demand will increase before feedlot performance and out weights recover. ******************Special cow sale Friday February 22nd at 6:30.*************** Feeder Steers Medium and Large 1 Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 3 345 345 195.00 195.00 3 460 460 171.00 171.00 10 541-545 542 160.00-165.50 164.39 2 580 580 163.50 163.50 5 602-622 614 144.50-145.50 144.89 3 647 647 140.00 140.00 Fleshy 56 651 651 148.85 148.85 3 723 723 132.25 132.25 Fleshy 21 843 843 130.25 130.25 Feeder Steers Medium and Large 1-2 Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 5 265-295 282 175.00-181.00 178.33 3 313 313 180.00 180.00 6 360-392 372 170.00-180.00 174.86 12 520-549 536 145.50-160.00 150.62 3 557 557 154.00 154.00 17 650-696 684 136.25-140.00 137.39 13 700-740 726 132.25-135.00 133.83 7 752 752 132.25 132.25 10 832 832 130.00 130.00 Feeder Heifers Medium and Large 1 Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 3 413 413 150.00 150.00 12 550-574 565 130.50-132.00 130.99 Feeder Heifers Medium and Large 1-2 Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 5 279 279 137.00 137.00 10 405-445 424 140.00-145.00 143.00 5 481 481 142.50 142.50 12 506-537 519 136.00 136.00 17 624-628 626 127.50-128.00 127.79 12 700-705 704 126.00-127.00 126.17 5 907 907 109.50 109.50 Feeder Heifers Medium 1-2 Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 4 748 748 116.00 116.00 Feeder Bulls Medium and Large 1-2 Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 10 513-520 514 140.00-142.00 140.20 11 602-611 609 128.50-131.50 130.96 3 650 650 122.50 122.50 7 705-745 711 115.50-118.75 118.26 Feeder Bulls Large 1 Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 3 408 408 137.50 137.50 8 571 571 116.00 116.00 Slaughter Cows: Percent lean Avg Dressing High dressing Low dressing Breaking 70-80 54.00-59.00 61.00 Boning 80-85 53.00-58.50 60.00-61.00 Lean 85-90 46.00-54.50 38.00-45.00 Slaughter bulls: YG 1-2 1300-1850 lbs 75.50-78.50 Low Dressing 73.00 Replacement cows: Few Medium and Large 1-2, 3-6 years, 1200-1400 lbs, second to third stage 850.00-1085.00 per head.
