National Market Summary:

Jefferson City, MO Fri Feb. 7, 2014 USDA-MO Dept of Ag Market News 

Compared to last week, not enough reported sales to establish a market. Other than a handful of sales early in the week, marketing of cattle was at a standstill. Snow, ice, winds, and record setting low temperatures made it extremely difficult to move cattle off the farm. Producers had plenty to deal with this week as feeding requirements were at a high, with subzero temperatures, high winds and drifting snow taking a toll on man, beast and equipment. Some cattlemen are also starting to calve and no one who has spent a day in several inches of blowing snow checking for new momma cows and making sure the babes are warm and nursing will debate the difficulty of that task. Not stalled due to weather, but slow to develop, feedlot trade seems to be waiting till the last hours of the week to take place. Choice boxed beef cut outs started the year at 200.55 and climbed for the next 20 days peaking at 240.05 on Jan 22nd. Since that time they have reversed at nearly the same rate closing on Thursday at 213.51. Trade seems to be easier for feedlot managers and packers to agree on for finished cattle when the market is climbing than when it is on the down slide. Supply factors remain supportive of all sectors of the industry so it may be just a case of an overbought market and some price correction. There are no doubts however that once prices get too high, demand at the meat counter will fall, with only time to tell what that price is and when we will get there.
