OKC West Saw Very Good Demand and Higher Steer and Heifer Calf Prices Tuesday

The Tuesday stocker and calf sale at OKC West had 2,349 head. Compared to last week: Steer calves 3.00-6.00 higher. Heifer calves 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand very good for all classes of cattle. The spread between No. 1 and No. 2 cattle continued to narrow this week, as quality becomes less of a concern and buyers focus more on securing headcount to fill orders. High winds have returned to Western Oklahoma and the fire danger is once again intensifying. Estimated receipts for Wednesday’s feeder sale is 4000 head.
