November 22,2002
Report Supplied By USDA
NATIONAL FEEDER & STOCKER
Summary for week ending Nov. 22, 2002.
Total Receipts; 443,100, last week
493,200. Direct; 79,700, last week 76,600.
Video/Internet: 2,700 head, last week
26,600. Auction Receipts: 360,700; last
week 390,000. This week’s reported auc
tion volume included 28 percent over 600
lbs and 43 percent heifers.
Compared to last week, a tight supply
of yearling steers and heifers sold firm to
3.00 higher. Calf offerings were large
again this week and, despite the big runs,
prices were 1.00-4.00 higher with in
stances of as much as 10.00 higher. The
full advancement on calf prices was real
ized in areas that are popular markets for
farmer feeders and backgrounders that
winter calves on something other than
wheat. These big gains were noticed from
as far south as Arkansas, up through Mis
souri and lowa, and across through Ne
braska, Wyoming and Montana. Winter
wheat regions of Texas, Oklahoma, and
Kansas enjoyed continued good demand,
but prices have started to level off as
wheat pastures are mostly stocked and
growing yards have their hands full.
The Southeast markets were also only
slightly higher as quality is tapering off
and the bulk of the front-end calves have
already been sold. But make no mistake!
Feeder and stocker cattle markets were
on fire this week and demand is about as
good as it gets. Last week’s bullish cattle
on-feed report and a quickly rising fed
cattle market added fuel to the flames.
After breaking 70.00 last week, feedlots
started selling their showlists 1.00 higher
on Wednesday and then grabbed another
dollar on Friday to end the week
1.00- higher on live sales and
3.00- higher in the meat at mostly
112.00. Cattle feeders have started writing
their closeouts with black ink, for a
change, and attitudes are optimistic for
this bullish run to continue. Background
ers are now whistling as they ride through
their wheat cattle and cattle feeders are
singing to the radio while driving down
feed alleys, instead of nervously listening
for market updates. Anywhere cattle peo
ple congregate, the smiling faces are a re
minder that it has been a long time since
the future has looked so bright. Not even
a nationwide day devoted to the turkey
can slow this bullet, as the demand for
beef remains strong and cut-out values
rose 6.00-7.00 this week.
