Feeder Cattle
Oklahoma City, Okla.
Wedneiday, October 12, 1994
OKLAHOMA NATIONAL
STOCKYARDS WEEKLY CATTLE
SUMMARY; Compared to last week:
Feeder (leers weak to $2.00 lower. Steer
calves steady. Feeder heifers Sl.oo-53.00
lower. Heifer calves under 500 lbs. steady
to $l.OO higher, over 500 lbs. 52.00-54.00
lower. Demand moderate for feeder cattle.
Demand mostly very good for calves with
exception of very light demand for 5
weight heifer calves. Last week’s rainfall
of 1-2 inches over much of the state has
improved calf demand as wheat pastures
respond. Western Oklahoma still in dire
need of moisture. Weigh-upa similar to last
week, average to full. Yearling flesh light
to medium with plain to average quality.
Calves mostly fleshy, end slightly thin and
weaned and average in quality. Slaughter
cows steady to $l.OO lower; bulls steady.
Packer demand moderate. 600 cows and
bulls sold with 80 percent to packers.
Receipts this week 12,550; last week
9,909; last year 13,623. Supply consisted
of 63 percent yearlings and calves over 600
lbs.; 32 percent calves under 600 lbs.; 5
percent cows and bulls. Prices follow with
weighted average weight and price in
parenthesis.

Sometimes You Need A
Spreader Built like A'Rink.
When spreading
stockpiled lime, for example.
The Stoltzfus Wet Lime Spreader is likely
the most powerful spreader of its kind on the
market today. You see, we’ve been building them
since 1945, and farmers are still using Stoltzfus
Wet Lime Spreaders they’ve had for 20, even 30
years. Our special drag chain is 4 times stronger
than stainless steel, and handles frozen and
heavy stockpiled lime with ease. Plus, for spread
ing compost, composted sludge, poultry litter
• Two-ton, five-ton, eight-ton models
• PTO, 540 rpm or 1,000 rpm
• Two-speed conveyor chain
• Leaf spring suspension
• Dual 24" spinners
• Spreads 40' effectively
• One-sided spreading capability
• Truck-mounted models available

and certain
fertilizers, the WLS is without
equal for sheer volume spreading. We call
that performance. You’ll call it terrific. .
We hope you compare a Stoltzfus WLS with
other spreaders. It makes us look even better.
Price? Sure we may be a little more. But when
you end up replacing cheaper units in a few
short years, what have you saved? Stoltzfus
quality always pays foritself many times over.
Just how tough is a Stoltzfus WLS? Plenty
tough. Call today. We’ll tell you where to
find the dealer nearest you, and send you free
literature to inspect.
