Missouri Weekly Weighted Average Feeder Cattle Report (03/13/09)

Receipts: 32,443, week ago 25,176, year ago 51,522

   Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers steady to 2.00 higher,
Holsteins steady to 4.00 higher. Demand moderate to good, supply moderate.
Most offerings suitable for grazing still in very good demand, and those
that are too heavy or too fleshy finding narrow outlets, as has been the
case for the last month or so. Spring seems to have been put on hold for
another few days as temperatures this week have been well below freezing each
night and some daytime temps only in the lower 30s. That being said, some
grass is starting to green up, and with the moisture that we have received
the last couple of weeks, when it does warm up the grass will grow rapidly.
Direct slaughter cattle trade lower again this week with live sales 1.00 to
2.00 lower at 80.00-81.50, and dressed sales steady 127.00 to 131.00.
