West Plains feeder cattle auction results

Ozarks Regional Stockyards, West Plains, Missouri, reported receipts of 5,082 head of feeder cattle selling on Nov. 17, compared to 4,950 head on Nov. 10 and 4,673 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 unevenly steady from $2 lower to $2 higher. The demand was moderate on a very heavy supply. For the past two weeks the Ozarks Regional Stockyards has had receipts over 5,000 head through the ring, which is rare except for special prevaccination sales and summer yearling runs. The sellers are playing catch up as depressed prices through October kept them home in hopes of better prices. The stronger cash prices have brought some to town but the recent bill from the county collector has brought many more. The supply included 100% feeder cattle with 56% steers, 42% was heifers and 2% was bulls. The feeder cattle supply weighing over 600 pounds was 43%.
