MARTIN’S TIRE & VRB■■■■■■■ ALIGNMENT Located In Churchtown 119 Water St., Narvpn, PA 17555 ******** National Feeder Cattle Weekly Summary St Joseph, Mo. April 26,2002 Report Supplied By USDA NATIONAL FEEDER CATTLE SUMMARY for week ending Apr. 26. RECEIPTS: Auctions: This Week 224.600, Last Week 213,800. Direct: This Week 50,700, Last Week 44,700. Video/ Internet: This Week 43,400, Last Week 7.600. TOTAL: This Week 318,700, Last Week 266,100. Old Format: This Week 122,800, Last Week 110,300, Last Year 191,000. This week’s reported auction vol ume included 54% over 600 lbs and 49% heifers. Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold steady to 3.00 lower. April live futures closed 17 points firmer Monday, possibly due to a combi nation of last Friday’s cattle on feed re port and fading attention on the Florida woman with human form of mad cow dis ease over the weekend. However, declin ing prices on live cattle over the past few weeks did little to lend support for feed ers, and left buyers and sellers in a tough situation as they ate looking for direction, with no clear answers. Despite lower prices this week, demand for feeders have ranged from light to mostly moderate, however better than ex pected. A lot of people are waiting and speculating as to the next cattle on feed report. Much needed rain has fallen across major grazing areas across the south central regions of the U.S. the past couple of weeks, with more predicted over the weekend. This much needed rain has helped increase the demand for grass cat tle. On the other hand, dryness still plagues other parts of the country. Feedlots have held cattle as long as they can over the past few weeks, with no other options now but to sell. This was evident this week, especially in the south, as the result was a much larger showlist. Rumors of 64.00 bids on Tuesday came true Wednesday as Feed lots in the south traded cattle 1.00-3.00 lower CCA certification makes a difference Today’s farms demand expert advice and comprehensive services!

Showlists were pretty much cleaned up in the southern plains Thursday after noon, after trading steady to 1.00 lower, with some of these cattle hanging in both southern and northern plants. A huge slap in the face was felt Thursday after noon as April Live Futures were up 40 points to triple digits in the out months. Adding a little salt to the wound Friday, April live and feeder cattle futures closed up the limit. Seasonal demand still seems to be the most likely favorite with every body looking towards Memorial weekend. Friend’s Stockyard Accident, Md.
