SF_LS758 Sioux Falls, SD Thu Feb 21, 2019 USDA-SD Dept of Ag Market News Mitchell Livestock Auction Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 02/21/2019 Receipts: 6463 Last Week: 8382 Year Ago: 6617 Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00 to 5.00 lower, except 600-650 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 750 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 lower, over 750 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Demand just moderate this week. There were plenty of high quality steers and heifers on offer, including many Hereford influenced. Cattle feeders were on the defensive after another snowstorm early in the week, with more on the way. Much colder than normal temps for the last 30 days coupled with snow and high winds has made for a really tough winter. Cattle performance has suffered which has increased costs of gain. Flesh condition was uneven, mostly light to moderate but there were some consignments on higher energy rations in moderate plus flesh. Lower CME Live and Feeder Cattle futures also added pressure to the market. 62 percent were steers; 38 percent heifers. 90 percent weighing over 600 lbs. Expecting 8000 feeder cattle next week, starting at 8:00 am.
