Weekly Cattle Summary
Compared to last week: Feeder cattle
1.00-2.00 higher with good demand.
Yearling cattle over 750 lbs in tight
supply. Steer calves steady, heifer calves
steady to 2.00 lower. Demand good for
steer calves, light for heifer calves. Rains
over the weekend of 1-3 inches in south
central and parts of eastern Oklahoma
gave some impetus to calf market. How
ever major wheat producing and grazing
areas still stone dry which kept enough
calf market pressure to limit better
demand to steer calves only. Weigh-ups
improved and mostly average.
Flesh condition of feeders thin to
medium, however large string fleshy.
Quality of calf supply average but
fleshy. Quality of yearlings average.
Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower.
Slaughter bulls .50-1.00 higher. Packer
demand light with many cows returned
to country. Total of 565 cows and bulls
sold with 42 percent to packers.
Receipts this week 8838; last week
9184; last year 9324.
Supply consisted of 53% yearlings and
calves over 600 lbs; 41% calves under
600 lbs; 6% cows and bulls. Heifers
comprised 36% of feeder and calf
supply.
Prices follow with weighted average
weight and price in parenthesis.
