MARKET REPORT - DECATUR LIVESTOCK MARKET
Consignments
from December 14, 2009, from 297 Sellers were
1862 head including: 35 Bulls, 348 Cows, 44 Calves, 71 Longhorns, 473 Stocker Heifers, 570 Stocker
Bulls/Steers, 135 Feeder Heifers, 186 Feeder Bulls/Steers. Average
price = $ 443. Last
week = $ 441. A year ago
= $ 452. We anticipated an uptick in
the market since this will be the last week of the year for most markets, the
futures were higher Friday and wheat fields are ready. What we got was $1 - $5 higher average
prices on 2 – 5 weight heifers and steady to $2 lower prices on 2 – 5 weight
steers with feeder cattle $1 - $4 lower.
Without several individual producers paying premium for preconditioned
calves, the market would have been $1 - $5 lower as the general demand has
fallen behind supply. Bred cows and
pairs were $30 - $40 higher and packers cows $2/cwt higher on average. Our next sale will be January 4, 2010,
featuring weaned calves. Best wishes
for peace and joy as we celebrate the Gift of Life!
