Wednesday, December 16, 1992 “ATTN DODGE CITY** OKLAHOMA NATIONAL STOCK YARDS WEEKLY CATTLE SUM MARY Compared to last week: Yearling feeder steers Sl.oo-52.00 higher with good demand. Yearling heifer demand uneven; 600-700 lbs. steady to $2 00 lower, over 700 lbs. steady. Brahma cross yearlings discounted heavily despite quality. Steer calves steady to 52.00 lower with moderate demand. Heifer calves met light demand and sold 52.00-55.00 lower. Weather was wet and cold and tough on calves. Most wheat pastures very boggy now and diffi cult or impossible to graze. Quality of supply mostly average to attractive, large end plain. Weigh-ups attractive, gaunt to average, few full. Much of calf supply was in thinner flesh conditions; short day weaned calves met tremendous resistance from buyers as weather wasn’t kind to unconditioned calves. Slaughter cows $3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 53.00-SS.OO higher. Slaughter cattle trade very active; activity created by an expanded base of buyers and by a projected lull in cow mark etings that normally occures over the upcoming holidays. Receipts this week 5,523; last week 6,192; last year 7,346. Supply consisted of 60 percent yearlings The Saving Place and calves over 600 lbs.; 36 percent calves; 4 percent cows and bulls.
