Springfield cattle sales report

The Springfield Livestock Marketing Center, Springfield, Mo., reported receipts of 1,716 head Jan. 24 compared to 3,422 head two weeks ago and 2,103 head last year, according to the USDA Market News Service, Jefferson City, Kan.

There was no sale last week due to the ice storm. Compared to two weeks ago, steers under 600 pounds were steady, over 600 pounds were $3 to $6 lower, and a light test of Holsteins because there weren't enough two weeks ago for a comparison. Heifers were $3 to $6 lower, with 500 weights steady. Demand and supply were moderate to light. The effects of the ice storm are being felt as several thousand homes and farms still without electrical power. The bulk of the calves were in medium to thin condition with several consignments of weaned and vaccinated calves in the mix. The feeder supply included 47% steers, 7% Holsteins, 40% heifers, 6% bulls, with 52% over 600 pounds.
