JC_LS760 Jefferson City, MO Wed Oct 11, 2017 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News Kingsville - Kingsville Livestock Aucton Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 10/10/2017 Receipts: 1319 Last Week: 1119 Year Ago: 1210 Compared to last week, based on limited true comparisons steer calves sold mostly steady and yearling steers and all weights of heifers sold with a higher undertone. Mostly long time weaned yearling cattle this week compared to last weeks run of calves and overall quality and condition was more attractive. Nearby live cattle contracts are showing strength and closed with triple digit gains fueling demand. Several consignments of heavier weight yearlings well surpassed the lighter fleshier calves price per pound as demand was very good for the yearlings and moderate for calves. As many know it can be difficult to keep those short weaned cattle healthy during the month of October. The feeder offering was made up of near 50 percent steers and bulls and 50 percent heifers with 74 percent over 600 lbs. Cows and bulls totaled 12 percent of the offering.
