National Market Summary:

Jefferson City, MO Fri Feb. 21, 2014 USDA-MO Dept of Ag Market News 

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady to 5.00 higher. The bulk of the advance was on mid-weight steers, which were well-suited to quickly approaching spring pastures. Feeder heifers sold firm to 5.00 higher; heifers returning to the farm as replacements were as much as 10.00 higher. This week’s feeder supply was heavy as unfavorable weather conditions made marketing the last few weeks difficult and caused a back-up in the market. Demand was good. Buyers are fully aware that this week’s offering is not an indicator of total supply, as overall supplies are tight and expected to become more limited in the coming months. No feedlot sales reported so far this week. The monthly Cattle on Feed Report, as well as the Cold Storage Report, both due to be released by USDA Friday afternoon.
