Springfield cattle auction report
The Springfield Livestock Marketing Center, Springfield, Missouri, reported receipts of 2,918 head on July 11, compared to 1,815 head last week and 1,410 head last year, according to the USDA-Missouri Department of Agriculture Market News Service, Jefferson City, Missouri.
Due to no sale a week ago, comparisons are being made from two weeks ago. The steer and heifer calves were steady to $5 higher following the sharply lower trade at the previous sale. There were not enough yearlings for a price comparison from two weeks ago and the undertones were higher. The Holsteins weighing under 450 pounds were not well tested and those over 450 pounds were steady to $5 higher. The demand was moderate and the supply was heavy. The feeder cattle supply included 38% steers, 13% was dairy steers, 37% was heifers and 12% was bulls. The feeder cattle supply over 600 pounds was 46%.
