Weighted Average Auction Report of Siler City and Turnersburg for the Week Ending
Thursday Nov 24, 2016. All other markets were closed in observance of the
Thanksgiving holiday.
Cattle Receipts: 1933 Last Week: 4973 Last Year: 1521
Compared to last week, there were too few comparable sales to determine a market
test. Demand and market activity were moderate, with many major buyers not in
attendance due to it being a holiday week. Offerings were moderate and quality
ranged from plain to average.
Slaughter cows made up 17 percent of the offering, slaughter bulls 3 percent,
replacement cows 1 percent, and feeders 79 percent. The feeder supply included 30
percent steers, 42 percent heifers, and 28 percent bulls. Near 25 percent of the run
weighed over 600 lbs.
