West Plains feeder cattle auction results

Ozarks Regional Stockyards, West Plains, Missouri, reported receipts of 3,939 head of feeder cattle selling on Sept. 22, compared to 2,983 head on Sept. 15 and 4,233 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 higher, with spots selling $6 higher. Most of the gain was on heavier weight, weaned and vaccinated calves. There were too few yearlings for an adequate comparison; however, undertones were sharply higher on yearling steers. The demand was moderate on calves and very good on yearlings. The supply was moderate to heavy with several pot-load drafts in the offering, including one draft of 275 head of nine weight steers. The supply included 100% feeder cattle with 62% steers, 1% was dairy steers, 33% was heifers and 4% was bulls. The feeder cattle supply weighing over 600 pounds was 57%.
