JC_LS795 Jefferson City, MO Fri Jan 02, 2009 MO Dept of Ag/USDA Market News Missouri Weekly Weighted Average Feeder Cattle Report (01/02/09) Receipts: 9893 Week Ago: 0 Year Ago: 18,288 Compared to two weeks ago feeder steers and heifers traded 4.00 to 6.00 higher, with some instances of 7.00 to 8.00 higher on steers under 500 lbs and heifers over 700 lbs. Feeder supply was light this week as many local auctions were closed for the holiday?s. The light offerings combined with buyers that seemed to have a few orders provided a ?holiday bonus? for those producers that decided to market the last week of 2008. The slight upturn to the market during a week when demand is historically very light caught the attention of many producers and has made for some interesting talks about just how the first full week of 2009 will play out. In the past the first tax week of a new year is typically one of the largest total receipt weeks of the year. Some observers don?t believe the supply of cattle in the country is that large, while others have talked about the number of farmers choosing to hold off on marketing due to the down turn in prices over the last few months. The question now is if the numbers are indeed out is this slight upturn enough to make farmers turn loose and if so can the market handle the increased supply? Should make for an interesting start to the 2009 marking year.
