MARKET REPORT - DECATUR LIVESTOCK MARKET

            Consignments from June 18, 2007, from 64 Sellers were 471 head including: 11 Bulls, 37 Cows, 10 Calves,
75 Stocker Heifers, 73 Stocker Bulls/Steers, 63 Feeder Heifers, 202 Feeder Bulls/Steers.  Average price = $ 620.  Last week = $ 523.  A year ago = $ 518.  Many of our producers and buyers were dealing with high waters so consignments were less than normal especially for cows and bulls, which made up only 10% of consignments as compared to the typical 20 – 25%.  Light calves trended cheaper on limited selections.  Good demand for preconditioned feeders with opportunity to buy truckloads.  Bidding active.  Surprising number of 6 and 7 weight bulls with $7/cwt average discount on the 7 weights and $6/cwt discount on high prices for the 6 weights.  In observation of Independence Day, we will be closed June 28 through July 6, 2007!
