Ada livestock auction report
The Southern Oklahoma Livestock Auction, Ada, Oklahoma, reported receipts of 650 head on Jan. 17, compared to 4,831 head last week and 1,346 head last year, according to the USDA-Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Market News Service, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Compared to a week ago, the calves were mostly steady in light test. A severe cold front brought single digit temperatures and below zero wind chills, which limited receipts. The overall quality was average and the demand was very good for the limited numbers. Heifers made up 47% of the supply and cattle weighing over 600 pounds were 29% of the supply.
