JC__LS760 Jefferson City, MO Wed Dec 12, 2018 USDA-MO Dept of Ag Market News Kingsville - Kingsville Livestock Auction Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 12/11/2018 Receipts: 3351 Last Week: 4031 Year Ago: 2869 Compared to last week, steers under 700 lbs sold 5.00-12.00 higher to gain back last week’s losses and 700-800 lb steers sold with a steady to firm undertone. A few loads of 800-900 lb steers sold steady with the last comparable sales a month ago. Heifers traded 2.00-6.00 higher. The improvement in the weather and the gains cattle saw on the CME Tuesday were the contributing factors for a higher market with more feeders interested taking on new cattle. Demand was good, particularly for cattle light enough to graze. A heavy supply was offered and the majority of cattle were in more attractive condition than the last several weeks. The feeder offering was made up of near 61 percent steers and bulls and 39 percent heifers with 58 percent over 600 lbs. Cows and bulls totaled 14 percent of the offering.
