OKC West feeder cattle results

OKC West, El Reno, Oklahoma, reported receipts of 9,630 head of feeder cattle selling on Oct. 23, compared to 10,284 head on Oct. 15 and 11,271 head a year ago, according to the USDA-Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Market News, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Compared to the previous week, the feeder steers weighing under 800 pounds were selling $2 to $3 lower and those over 800 pounds were mostly steady. The feeder heifers were selling $1 to $2 higher. The demand was moderate and good for heavier weights that can hit the April live cattle CME contract. The steer and heifer calves that were weaned traded mostly steady to firm with the remainder of the offering sold with a much lower undertone. The demand was moderate. The quality was plain to average. The rain and a cold front is in the forecast for the end of the week causing buyers to be very cautious about short and/or unweaned calves. The supply included 100% feeder cattle with 61% steers, 36% were heifers and 2% were bulls. The feeder cattle supply weighing over 600 pounds was 74%.
