Oklahoma livestock
The state Department of Agriculture reported the following prices Wednesday at the Oklahoma City Stockyards:
Receipts: 9,080; week ago: 11,784; year ago: 12,083.
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 2-5 lower. Steer and heifer calves are steady but with a heavier supply of long weaned and thin fleshed cattle being offered. Demand moderate to good with least action on 800-900 lb. steers and 700-800 lb. heifers. Corn prices moved higher as USDA reports showed grain stocks much lower than expected. This news spilled over into the feeder cattle pit causing feeder futures to decline. Demand continues very good for lightweight thin fleshed cattle. Many of these cattle are already headed to grass accounts. Quality average to attractive. Weigh-ups showed the complete range of gaunt to full. Supply included 70 percent over 600 lbs and 38 percent heifers.
