OKC West feeder cattle auction results

OKC West Livestock Auction, El Reno, Oklahoma, reported receipts of 3,634 head of cattle selling on Feb. 5, compared to 5,517 head the previous week and 1,500 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 and heifers were selling $3 to $5 lower. The demand was light and the seller interest was somewhat light with a few drafts deciding to sell at a later date. Heavy snowfall fell across the trade area Tuesday night and Wednesday morning hampering livestock movement. The steer and heifer calves were too lightly tested for an accurate test but a steady to firm undertone was noted. The demand was moderate to good. The supply included 100% feeder cattle with 51% steers, 44% were heifers and 4% were bulls. The feeder cattle supply weighing over 600 pounds was 63%.
