OKC West feeder cattle auction results
OKC West, El Reno, Oklahoma, reported receipts of 4,994 head of feeder cattle selling on Sept. 2, compared to 5,563 head selling the previous reporting period and 4,292 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 $3 to $6 lower and those over 800 pounds were steady to $1 higher. The feeder heifers were trading $3 to $6 lower, with the exception of 800- to 900-pound heifers that were mostly selling $1 to $2 lower. The demand was moderate and good for feeder steers. The steer and heifer calves were trading with a lower undertone as demand for unweaned calves continues to get lighter as fall weather is arriving. The quality was attractive to average. Heavy rainfall and much cooler temperatures have swept across the trade area and are expected to stay for the remainder of the week and weekend. The supply included 100% feeder cattle with about 51% steers, 49% was heifers and 1% was bulls. The feeder cattle supply weighing over 600 pounds was 77%.
