Weekly Summary
St. Joseph, Mo.
June 29,2001
Report Supplied By USDA
FEEDER CATTLE: Receipts this
week 181,500; last week 148,900; last
year 153,800. Compared to last week,
feeder steers and heifers prices were une-
venly steady on heavier receipts. Most
areas were able to hold their market to
gether, even after last Friday’s grizzly
bear of a cattle-on-feed report. However,
many Southeastern sales turned lower as
fleshy new-crop calves pressured the
market and order buyers had little time
to prepare loads to ship before next
week’s holiday. But, for the most part,
feeder prices showed amazing strength
by not heading straight south on the
news that May feedlot placements were
sharply higher than most had predicted.
Even futures prices managed to hold up,
until Friday when lower beef demand
and higher corn bids caused sharp losses.
Last week’s report pressure may have
actually helped this week’s cash feeder
cattle trading. Producers were much
easier to negotiate with and direct coun
try trading was very active, especially for

fall delivery. Sellers also like to sew-up
deals before a big video auction, where
out-front markets usually become set in
stone. This weekend’s Superior Video
Auction features over 200,000 head and
evidently many cattle feeders continue
to be optimistic. Calves for September
and October delivery are especially
active in early sales with several strings
of 400-500 lb steers in the Mountain
States bringing from 120.00-130.00.
Most of the Plains and the Midwest
have been dry and sunny for the past
several days and wheat harvest is again
making good progress. Next week, mar
ketings will be very light as most mar
kets will be closed for July 4th. However,
more downside pressure may come for
feeders as the corn market finally got a
shot in the arm when Friday’s USDA
report showed slightly less June acreage
than expected.
In other news, the beef checkoff pro
gram, which has been partly credited for
the recent turnaround in consumer beef
demand, may be on shaky ground after
the Supreme Court set a precedent by
deciding that the mandatory mushroom
checkoff violates the First Amendment
This week’s reported feeder cattle
supply included 54 percent over 600 lbs.
