MARKET REPORT - DECATUR LIVESTOCK MARKET
Consignments
from February 5, 2007, from 137 sellers were 767
head including: 26 Bulls, 180 Cows, 27 Calves, 189 Stocker Heifers,
193 Stocker Bulls/Steers, 46 Feeder Heifers, 106 Feeder Bulls/Steers. Average prices = $ 501. Last week = $ 518. A year ago = $ 591. The market on better calves was $2 - $3
higher. Quality was inconsistent and
plainer calves discounted to point where they dragged averages down in segments
where the ratio of plain cattle was greater.
Muddy conditions prevented several consignors from bringing cattle
in. Supply of better cattle less than
demand. Packer prices steady. Not enough good bred cows or pairs to test
market. Consignments are being
accepted for our 15th annual “Bringing in the Green” Special
Replacement Sale scheduled for Saturday, March 17, 2007.
