MARKET REPORT - DECATUR LIVESTOCK MARKET
Consignments
from May 7, 2007, from 150 sellers were 742 head
including: 26 Bulls, 174 Cows, 37 Calves,
137 Stocker Heifers, 187 Stocker Bulls/Steers, 78 Feeder Heifers, 103 Feeder
Bulls/Steers. Average prices = $
577. Last week = $ 571. A year ago = $ 500. The severe storms in Oklahoma and Kansas cauwed
some orders to be put on hold thereby negatively affecting pries on 225 – 300#
claves. The market was steady on comparable
calves. Most of the 7 and 8 weight
cattle were discounted because too fat.
Packer prices $3 higher on average.
Demand on bred cows and pairs exceeded supply. Early Consignments for May 14 include: 45-50 midage cows, most are pairs-a few will
be longbred. Also, a dispersal of an 80
– 90 cow herd if not too muddy to ship them.
WE WILL HAVE A SALE MONDAY, MAY 28, MEMORIAL DAY!
