KC Sheperd, Farm Director, is back talking with Bob Rodenberger, a partner with Stockman Oklahoma Livestock Marketing, as he gives the latest on the cattle markets.
“The numbers are a little lighter overall the state completely,” Rodenberger said. “Oklahoma City and El Reno have pretty much seen normal numbers to what they have seen a year ago.”
Whether people are selling stockers, feeder cattle, or cull cows, Rodenberger said the market is outstanding.
“If you are a seller, today is a great place to be,” Rodenberger said.
Rodenberger said he is starting to hear from people who are looking for replacement cows now that some ponds are full and the grass is starting to get back into good shape.
“They are getting their minds back to wanting to replace some of the cull cows they sold last year,” Rodenberger said.
In the next few weeks, Rodenberger said he expects to see some lighter runs.
“Everybody that was looking to try and sell anything early has the ability now to keep them until their normal term,” Rodenberger said.
