MARKET REPORT - DECATUR LIVESTOCK MARKET
Consignments from May 28, 2007, from 58 Sellers were 434 head
including: 21 Bulls, 66 Cows, 14 Calves,
101 Stocker Heifers, 134 Stocker Bulls/Steers, 34 Feeder Heifers, 54 Feeder
Bulls/Steers. Average price = $ 533. Last week = $ 582. A year ago = $ 501. The market was steady with last week on
comparable cattle. Muddy fields and
high creeks kept the cattle numbers down but brought out a lot of folks who do
not have opportunity to attend many sales.
Several buyers for 1 – 3 head of bred cows or pairs. The market report shows lower prices on
calves. This is a reflection of lesser
quality and higher ration of horned roping steers cycling back through, i.e.
44% of 6 weight steers and 39% of 5 weight steers were horned cattle. Strong market for good long bred cows and
pairs. Packers steady. Early
consignments for next week include: 5
young Angus bulls, 3 carrying New Design and 2 sired by Son of Sure-Shot. Well balanced EPD’s.
