West Plains feeder cattle auction results

Ozarks Regional Stockyards, West Plains, Missouri, reported receipts of 2,427 head of feeder cattle selling on Sept. 1, compared to 3,142 head on Aug. 25 and 2,158 head a year ago, according to the USDA-Missouri Department of Agriculture Market News, Jefferson City, Missouri.

Compared to the previous week, the feeder steers and heifers were trading $2 to $4 higher with spots selling $6 higher. The yearlings were not well tested; however, undertones were higher. The demand was good on a light to moderate supply. Additional rains, following those from Hurricane Laura, have turned the pastures green and increased the demand for grass-ready calves. The supply included 100% feeder cattle with 51% steers, 45% was heifers and 4% was bulls. The feeder cattle supply weighing over 600 pounds was 47%.
