JC_LS139 Jefferson City, MO Wed May 14, 2008 MO Dept of Ag-USDA Market News Macon - Lolli Brothers Livestock Market Feeder Cattle Auction for 05/13/08 Receipts: 1150 Week Ago: 1490 Year Ago: 1493 Compared with the previous auction; feeder steers 3.00-5.00 higher, feeder heifers 1.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-5.00 higher. Demand seems to improve every week for all cattle at the market with feeder cattle buyers looking down the road at substantially higher fed cattle prices and slaughter cow buyers trying to fill all of the retail hamburger orders. Wet and cool weather continues to keep North Missouri row crop farmers out of the fields as the entire states corn crop was only 34 percent planted as of May 11, which is one of the slowest planting paces in the nation. Demand good and supply moderate. Cows and bulls accounted for 20 percent of the run, and feeders 80 percent. In the feeder supply, steers and bulls made up approximately 66 percent of the run; heifers 34 percent; steers and heifers over 600 lbs totaled around 40 percent.
