JC_LS755 St. Joseph, MO Tue May 14, 2013 USDA-MO Dept of Ag Market News Maryville- United Producers Inc. Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 05/14/2013 Receipts: 1304 Last Week: 869 Year Ago: 1256 Compared to two weeks ago, yearling feeder cattle sold 2.00-4.00 lower on a much lighter test. The calf market was unevenly steady to firm with instances from 7.00-10.00 higher on 450-500 lb steers and 500-550 lb heifer calves. The crowd was light with late corn planting finally in high gear on the first hot day of the season. Supplies were much lighter than recent sales as the availability of feeder cattle is tightening. Many of the best consignments of calves were not weaned so several of the weight groups did not test the market's full capability. Slaughter cows were 1.00-3.00 higher than last week with bulls steady to 1.00 higher. Receipts included 13 percent cows and bulls with the balance feeders. The feeder run had 43 percent steers and 57 percent heifers with 58 percent over 600 lbs. Note: United Producers will have a Special Bred Cow and Pair Sale next Tuesday.
