WH_LS750 Kearney, NE Wed Jan 16, 2019 USDA-NE Dept of Ag Market News Huss Platte Valley Auction Feeder Cattle Weighted Average Report for 01/16/2019 Receipts: 4928 Last Week: 4300 Year Ago: 4300 Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good with mostly order buyers procuring cattle, very few farmer feeders at the auction. Poor pen conditions in a very large area of the Northern and Southern Plains is making it a tick tough to sell heavier weights of feeder cattle. But, buyers continue to chase after lighter weight, grass type cattle for summer turnout. Wednesday supply comprised of 59 percent steers with near 85 percent over 600 lbs. January 23rd Special calf and feeder auction expecting 5500-6000 head.
