Ozarks Regional livestock auction report

The Ozarks Regional Stockyards, West Plains, Missouri, reported receipts of 1,537 head selling on Sept. 4, compared to 3,004 head a week ago and 1,930 head last year, according to the USDA-Missouri Department of Agriculture Market News Service, Jefferson City, Missouri.

Compared to a week ago, there were too few receipts across all weight ranges to establish a trend however, trading on feeder calves was unevenly steady. Yearlings were not well tested. Demand was good on a light supply. Labor Day along with higher temperatures and greener pastures curtailed the receipts. The feeder cattle supply included 47% steers, 5% dairy steers, 42% heifers and 6% bulls. The feeder cattle supply over 600 pounds was 25%.
