OKC West feeder cattle auction results

OKC West Livestock Auction, El Reno, Oklahoma, reported receipts of 10,259 head of feeder cattle selling the week ending on Dec. 2, compared to 11,788 head two weeks ago and 9,566 head a year ago, according to the USDA-Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Market News, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Compared to the previous sale two weeks ago, the feeder steers and heifers were trading $2 to $5 lower. The demand was light to moderate and good for heavier weights that can be put against the April CME contract as it has a $4 to $5 positive basis over all other trading months. The steer and heifer calves were selling $4 to $9 higher. The demand was good to very good as recent rains have wheat pastures in good condition for grazing. The quality was average to attractive with several lots of cattle being in very good condition. The supply included 100% feeder cattle with 55% steers, 43% was heifers and 2% was bulls. The feeder cattle supply weighing over 600 pounds was 60%.
