West Plains- Ozarks Regional Stockyard
Feeder Cattle Auction Report for 11/17/2009

Receipts:  2200    Last Week:  4834    Year Ago:  4433

   Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 2.00 lower, although
heavy 6 weight heifers were 2.00-4.00 lower than last week’s sharp upturn.
Supply light, contributed mainly to the first week of Missouri’s Annual Deer
Season.  Also, the weather front of cold rain and drizzle put a halt on movement
of a few deals as well.  Demand light to moderate, but continued best on higher
quality, uniform bunches with shots.  It’s apparent that last week’s fat cattle
market being 3.00-4.00 lower along with higher feed cost dulled the edge of any
positive ideas near term on feeder cattle, along with several reports of some
feedlots currently being pretty much at capacity levels.  That in itself has
never been real good news.  Supply consisted of 61 percent steers and 39 percent
heifers.  Near 42 percent weighed over 600 lbs.

   Feeder Steers: Medium and Large 1  few 350-400 lbs 110.00-114.00; 400-500 lbs
