Palmyra, MO - F and T Livestock Market
Feeder Cattle Auction for 05/20/2013

Receipts:  719    Week Ago:  244    Year Ago:  158

   Compared to the last tested market from two weeks ago, steer and
heifer calves under 500 lbs steady, feeder steers over 500 lbs and
feeder heifers from 500-700 lbs 3.00-5.00 lower, with heifers over
700 lbs steady.  Slaughter cows steady with last week.  A lighter
offering of feeders with the quality not as attractive compared to the
large supply sold two weeks ago.  Most of the calves sold in small
packages as many beef producers are selling their fall born calves or
are cleaning up pens of cattle that have not yet been moved to grass.
Demand and supply moderate.  Cows and bulls accounted for 15 percent
of the run and feeders 85 percent.  In the feeder supply, steers and
bulls made up approximately 62 percent of the run; heifers 38 percent;
steers and heifers over 600 lbs totaled around 48 percent.

Scheduling note:  No sale next Monday, May 27.  The next feeder sale at
Palmyra is Monday, June 3.
