OKC West Livestock auction report
The OKC West Livestock, El Reno, Oklahoma, reported receipts of 4,868 head selling on Oct. 10, compared to 11,008 head a week ago and 6,871 head last year, according to the USDA-Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Market News, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Compared to a week ago, feeder steers were trading mostly $2 to $3 lower and feeder heifers were selling $5 to $8 lower, however all classes of short weaned feeders were selling up to $10 lower. Weather across all major feeding regions have feedlots full of mud that are not at all eager to fill pen space. Demand is light to moderate. Steer and heifer calves were lightly tested due to continuous rainfall hampering livestock movement, however a lower undertone was noted. Quality was average to attractive. Demand was moderate to good for calves. Heavy rainfall and storms are expected for the remainder of the week.
