With 2,300 calves at the OKC West Market on Tuesday- Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 5.00-15.00 higher with biggest advancement on steers and bigger heifers. No trend to set on unweaned cattle but the market was noticeably higher. Most buyers are focused on immediate supply more closely than the daily swings in cattle futures.
Because of historically high prices, calves normally held for fall-runs are being brought to town now, both weaned and
unweaned.
For Wednesday- the market expects 3,500 yearlings- including 1,300 Heifers and 2,200 Steers.
