Ozarks Regional Stockyards feeder cattle sales report

The Ozarks Regional Stockyards, West Plains, Missouri, reported receipts of 2,389 head of feeder cattle selling on Feb. 4, compared to 3,020 head on Jan. 28 and 4,907 head a year ago, according to the USDA-Missouri Department of Agriculture Market News, Jefferson City, Missouri.

Compared to the previous week, the steer and heifer calves were steady to $3 lower with the exception of some 6-weight calves trading $3 higher. The demand was good on a light supply. The steers averaged 589 pounds at $144.41 per hundredweight while heifers averaged 542 pounds at $127.87 per hundredweight. Heavy rains fell on top of already muddy lots and that kept receipts light. The supply included 100% feeder cattle with 56% steers, 1% were dairy steers, 41% were heifers and 3% were bulls. The feeder cattle supply weighing over 600 pounds was 39%.
