January 31,2003 Report Supplied By USDA NATIONAL FEEDER & STOCKER SUMMARY for week ending Jan. 31 Total Receipts: 319,700, last week 463,400. Direct 57,500, last week 48,100. Video/Intemet 800, last week 124,100. Auctions 261,400, last week 291,200. This week’s reported auction volume included 51 percent over 600 lbs and 43 percent heifers. Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers weighing over 700 lbs sold steady to 1.00 lower. Stocker cattle traded steady to 2.00 higher with many South eastern calves selling as much as 4.00 higher than last week. Receipts were much lighter this week, especially across Dixieland, and buyers are starting to as semble thin and lightweight calves for spring turn-out. Yearling demand was only moderate, again this week, despite higher futures and a rebounding finished market that was able to get back to 80.00. The prob lem with the market for feediot replace ments is that the CME Live Cattle Futur es for June are trading at more than a 10.00 discount to spot February, August is trading at more than a 13.00 discount. Normally, cattle feeders would run over one another to purchase 7 weight feeders for the same price as their closeouts. But, the handwriting is on the wall for a major slaughter cattle market-collapse and feed er buyers are using restraint to keep re placements at a reasonably hedgeable level. Most feedlots are expecting 81.00 for next week’s showlists and it’s hard to be lieve that today’s feeders will only be worth around 70.00 in just 120 days, espe cially as “green” cattle are frantically being pulled forward. This week the USD A announced the resurrection of voluntary slaughter cattle price reporting.

The number of beef cow operations also fell by 1 per cent. Cattle people were reminded of this in dustry’s humble beginnings this week as one of the largest remaining parcels of the old XIT Ranch was placed on the auction block.
