Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 11/20/2014
Receipts: 5302 Last Week: 3862 Year Ago: 3174
Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves mostly steady except
for steers weighing 500-550 lbs and heifer 550-600 lbs 3.00 to 5.00
higher. Yearling steers steady to instances of 5.00 to 6.00 higher on
those in a lighter flesh condition than last week?s heavier fleshed cattle,
yearling heifers mostly steady. Good to very demand for this large
offering of calves, many large strings and but also many small packages.
Plenty of high quality calves to choose from, many weaned but also many
unweaned. Weaning status didn?t seem to affect the price much, the weather
has turned and stayed very cold, helping to stimulates calves appetites and
make them come looking for feed to generate some heat. Many farmer feeders
on the seats bidding on this big offering of calves as corn harvest is complete
and they are eager to feed this much cheaper corn. Very good demand for
yearlings as there were many full loads of backgrounded steers and heifers,
flesh condition ran from light to heavy. Most of the yearling steers weighed
over 990 lbs as good feeding weather this fall allowed cattle to gain very well
and there was much incentive to make cattle heavier. Very active market on the
yearlings with many bidders chasing the market to get cattle bought to hit that
late winter/early spring fed cattle market. 74 percent over 600 lbs. 56
percent steers; 44 percent heifers. No sale next week due to the Thanksgiving
Day holiday, next sale in two weeks expecting 5,000 feeders.
