National Feeder Cattle Weekly Summary St. Joseph, Mo. May 10,2002 Report Supplied By USDA NATIONAL FEEDER CATTLE SUMMARY for week ending May 10. Re ceipts: Total - 346,400, last week 281,700. Auctions - 229,000, last week 205,900. Di rect - 98,000, last week 65,200. Video/ Internet - 19,4000, last week 10,600. Old Format - 182,400, last week 133,200, last year 182,300. This week’s auction volume included 48 percent over 600 lbs and 48 percent heifers. Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold 1.00-3.00 higher in active trading. However; a much lighter test of stocker steers and heifers sold weak to 4.00 lower, especially in the deep South where re ceipts are predominantly lightweight calves. Orders for stocker cattle signifi cantly slacked off this week as tum-out dates for most summer grazing areas have already passed. Although, recent rains and lower prices may cause producers who have the flexibility to crank up their stocking rates a bit. Demand for the heavier weight feeder cattle was very good again this week, despite large re ceipts. This was a welcome sight for those backgrounders who chose to wait and sell their wheat cattle coming off graze-out. Especially since the performance has been outstanding and weights on May wheat cattle have been heavier than normal. As good as the graze-out season has been, most of the Hard Red Winter Wheat has matured to the point of losing its grazing value. This will cause the few bunches still left on wheat to be moved very soon. Direct feeder cattle trading was much more active this week than it has been for months, spurred by the fat cattle situation that finally broke out of its funk. Late last Friday, packers jumped out and gave 2.00 more for cattle at mostly 65.00. Immedi ate delivery was part of the transaction as trucks were practically backing up to the chutes as the deals were made. Buyers then turned around on Wednesday and paid an extra 3.00 to close this week’s feedlot trade at mostly 68.00 live and mostly 110.00 dressed, which was 5.00-6.00 higher than the last significant trade. Most feedlots were finally able to clean up their show lists. This unexpected rally came as a result of a spark in dress ed beef prices and movement. Hopefully, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day grilling will gobble up all of this inventory. How ever, chain speeds are already slowing down and we may be looking at a post holiday hangover. But, few people were expecting this bright spot and analysts are calling for a friendly cattle-on-feed report next Friday.
