Ozarks Regional Stockyards, West Plains, Missouri, reported receipts of 3,585 head of feeder cattle selling on May 12, compared to 2,947 head on May 5, according to the USDA-Missouri Department of Agriculture Market News, Jefferson City, Missouri.

Compared to a week ago, the steer calves were trading $3 to $6 higher with yearling steers selling $4 to $8 higher. The heifer calves were steady to $4 higher with yearlings not well tested. The demand was good on a moderate supply. The market was very active as positive gains were made on live cattle and feeder cattle contracts. Continued increases in prices for slaughter cattle and box beef cutouts have had a positive effect on feeder cash prices. The supply included 100% feeder cattle with 60% steers, 38% was heifers and 2% was bulls. The feeder cattle supply weighing over 600 pounds was 48%.
