NATIONAL FEEDER CATTLE
SUMMARY for week ending Feb 15 Re
ceipts This week 187,400. last week
148,200, year ago 150,600 This week’s
reported volume included 48 percent
weighing over 600 lb Compared to last
week, feeder steers and heifers across
most of the nation sold steady to 2 00
higher, according to the USDA Live
stock Market News Service
After almost tripling their receipts
from last week, the Southeast states sold
cattle firm to 3.00 higher, with some
areas up to 4 00 higher. The Southeast
was crippled by severe winter storms last
week which included heavy ice Buyers
were very active as producers were able
to make it back into the auction barns
Several markets in Tennessee offered
preconditioned, load lots, and grouped
cattle which found excellent demand as
feeders under 600 pounds traded up to
6 00 higher The snow and ice has melted
in the Southern Plains and given wheat
pastures a long overdue drink.
The Senate passed their version of a
Farm Bill this week, which included a
provision that would ban packers from
owning cattle 14 days prior to slaughter
The House’s version of the Bill did not
include this provision, and the two must
meet in a conference committee to
hammer out the details If the Senate’s
version were to pass it would no doubt
shake the cattle feeding industry As
with any Farm Bill there are producers
on both sides of the fence, and cattle
leeders are keeping their eyes glued to
the issue
Packers may need to add more money
to their bids and procure cattle before
today's COD report comes out Analysts
are expecting to see larger marketing
than a year ago, and smaller placements
Dressed sales in the Northern yards as of
Friday morning ranged from 114-115 00
which is 1 00 higher than last week. Cu
touts continue to be good, and chain
speeds have increased at the plants
Most factors are stacking up in the feed
er’s corner as consumer demand is
strong, and break even sheets are look
ing better evert week
