Boonville- Farmers Livestock Auction: Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 11/30/2010
Wednesday, December 1, 2010
Receipts: 1503 Last Week: 1172 Year Ago: 1026
Compared to last week, feeder steers sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher with many
instances of 6.00 higher, particularly on steers over 700 lbs. Feeder heifers
traded 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Quality was
much more attractive this week and a couple extra buyers were in the seats, both
of which helped give the market a sure boost. Most of the highest prices came
early in the day when larger groups were available; late sales didn’t quite have
the same spark when singles and small packages were more prevalent and buyers
were all but squared up. This made for some wide price spreads by the close of
business. Supply moderate to heavy and demand good but moderating towards the
end of the day. Cows and bulls accounted for 10 percent of the total offering.
The feeder supply consisted of 63 percent steers and bulls and 37 percent
heifers; 42 percent of all the feeder cattle weighed over 600 lbs.
