Aug. 17,2001 Report Supplied By USDA NATIONAL FEEDER CATTLE SUMMARY - Week ending Aug. 17, 2001. Receipts this week 167,000; last week 152,300; year ago 164,200. Feeder cattle prices rebounded a bit from last week’s lower prices on the calves, but yearlings did not fare as well. According to USDA’s Livestock and Grain Market News Service, calves mostly steady to 2.00 higher with some classes of calves up to 5.00 higher in the Southeast. Year ling cattle were quoted mostly steady to weak, with some direct sales as much as 2.00 lower on slow country trading. The Southern Plains are just now starting to see some moisture falling from the sky. Many are wondering what it is; they haven’t seen any rain in so long. Spotty rains occurred over last weekend and a front moved through that dropped widespread showers this week and gave the area a much needed break from hot, humid weather. As those in the Southern Plains move toward Sep tember, wheat and rye pasture planting is just around the corner. It appears that the weather pattern moving through has left much optimism about getting crops to sprout and grow quickly. Already arid states in the Northwest are seeing more wildfires erupting after lightning strikes; starting underbrush afire and the situa tion is growing out of hand quickly. Many ranchers sold their calves 30-45 days early due the severe drought condi tions in the Plains. Direct feedlot sales took back what was lost last week as live sales were quoted 1.00 higher at mostly 70.00 and dressed sales 2.00 to 3.00 higher at 112.00-113.00. This month has been interesting as CME’s August Live Cattle futures have been trading near a 2.00 premium to the cash trade. For the true hedgers, it seems the conditions are in their favor to de liver. As of Thursday evening this week, month to date total loads tendered came to a sum of 366. Some in the industry are calling 366 only a moderate number at this time in the delivery month. Hedgers are keeping their eyes on the fall and winter Live Cattle futures as they hover in the middle 70’s. Today’s bearish Cattle on Feed Report pegged inventory at 107 percent. Placements were 104 percent, mostly to blame for this is the drought conditions in the South that forced grass cattle to depart early. The marketing number oi 99 percent also weighed on the inventory numbers. However, this was the most positive number in the report as it was toward the high end of industry guesses. For the month of July, slaughter num bers under federal inspection averaged only 659,000. Chain speed will need to be increased to get some of the excess fed cattle moved into the food chain. This week’s reported feeder supply included 43 percent over 600 lbs. St. Louis Feeder Cattle Greenville, IL August 23,2001 Report Supplied By USDA Cattle and calves: 790 head.
