JC_LS755 Jefferson City, MO Tue Sep 16, 2008 MO Dept of Ag-USDA Market News Maryville- United Producers Inc. Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 09/16/2008 Receipts: 2570 Last Week: 1443 Year Ago: 2384 Compared to two weeks ago, feeder cattle and calves sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was good as buyers shrugged off much of the bearish pressure currently facing agricultural markets, caused from trouble on Wall Street and extreme weather patterns. Quality of the offering was outstanding with yearlings mostly offered in load lots and calves sold in large uniform groups that were evenly mixed between those that were weaned or right off the cow. A nice crowd was on hand for the 21st Annual Customer Appreciation Day. Supply included 10 percent cows and bulls with 90 percent feeder cattle. The feeder run was made up of 75 percent steers and 25 percent heifers with around 66 percent weighing over 600 lbs.
