JC_LS150 Jefferson City, MO Wed May 14, 2008 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News Cuba ? Interstate Regional Stockyards Cattle Auction Report for 05/13/2008 Receipts: 1338 Last Week: 2056 Year Ago: 1855 Compared to last week, feeder steers sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and feeder heifers 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Buyer activity was particularly noted on the couple of part-load offerings of heavy weight yearlings, and the steer to heifer price spread was smaller this week. Planting progress is still significantly behind historical averages, but farmers were able to play a little catch up last week. If Mother Nature would cooperate for even a small window of time many acres could be covered in a short period but more rain is forecast through Friday. May 10th is often referred to as a critical date for corn planting in regards to yield loss and that date has come and gone. Grass growth is also still lagging and the only place it does seem to be growing is in the front lawn. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good. Cows and bulls accounted for 08 percent of the total offering. The feeder supply consisted of 51 percent steers and bulls and 49 percent heifers; 36 percent of all feeders weighed over 600 lbs. ***Cattlemen?s Note: Interstate Regional Stockyards will hold a Special Stock Cow Sale on Friday, May 16th beginning at 6:30 p.m.*** Feeder Steers: Medium and Large 1 200-300 lbs 131.00-136.50; pkg 340 lbs 134.50; 400-500 lbs 115.00-119.50, fleshy 111.00-112.50; 500-600 lbs 110.00-118.00; 600-700 lbs 110.50-116.85; few pkgs 700-800 lbs 105.85- 108.50; part load 860 lbs 103.75; lot 991 lbs 94.35.
