       Oklahoma National Stockyards - Monday Cattle Auction -  Close

   Estimated Receipts:  10,000     Last Monday:  9504     Yr Ago:   6762

   Compared to last week:  Feeder cattle 1.00-2.00 higher with very good demand.  
Steer and heifer calves not well tested, few sales look 5.00-7.00 higher.  Most 
buyers aggressive for numbers while others are on the sideline.  A few cattle 
are still coming off graze out wheat, however, much fewer than normal.  Moderate 
numbers of feeders are now going to northern feedlots as available supplies get 
tighter there.  Several cattle continue to come from out of state but in thin 
flesh or gaunt conditions.  Receipts continue to include large numbers of steers 
over 800 lbs.  Supply included 86 percent over 600 lbs and 38 percent heifers.
