National Feeder Cattle Weekly Summary St. Joseph, Mo. November 23,2001 Report Supplied By USDA NATIONAL FEEDER CATTLE SUMMARY for week ending Nov 23. Receipts: this week 48,100; last week 176,300; year ago 65,700. Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold 2.00-5.00 higher on this Thanksgiving holiday shortened week. Some early week auctions were quoted as much as 10.00 higher by the USDA’s Livestock and Grain Market News Service, after five straight weeks of lower prices. This market can make a cattleman feel like he’s on a runaway rollercoaster, hanging on for dear life and his hat just flew off.

Limited hol iday receipts may have helped, but that is no reason to pay sharply higher prices. Recent rains across the winter wheat re gions boosted calf demand. However, colder weather will soon put wheat into a dormant stage and conditions are pres ently so wet that cattle are sure to tromp out what little grazing there is. Last week’s cattle-on-feed report showed light numbers of cattle weighing over 700 lbs placed oil feed in October, which supported the yearling market and the spring outlook for fats. Also, cattle futures made significant advances and dressed beef prices turned sharply higher as buying increased for expected post turkey sandwich demand. What ever the reason, this ride is headed back up after a dip that left most people’s stomachs behind. Packers paid a full 5.00 more for slaughter steers and heif ers this week at 65.00, and dressed sales were 4.00-S.OO higher at 105.00. Disper sal was good with the five major trading areas tuming-in 199,400 head of negoti ated sales to the USDA’s Mandatory Price Reporting System through Friday afternoon. Cattle sellers were able to hold down their Thanksgiving dinner, but next week could be several dollars in either direction if this volatile trend con tinues. This week’s reported volume in cluded 37 percent over 600 lbs, but keep in mind that many Southeastern calf auctions were closed. West Virginia Feeder Cattle Charleston, W. Va.
