This Week: 3,000
Last Reported: 7,654
Last Year: 8,891
Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 15.00-20.00 lower. The bulk of supply consisted of unweaned bulls with no shots, and they traded at a sharp discount. With the weather turning inconsistent and temperatures swinging up and down, calf health is beginning to slip. Demand has softened for unweaned calves carrying no shots.
Lonestar Stockyards - Wildorado, TX
This Week: 1,103
Last Reported: 463
Last Year: 894
Compared to last week: Steers and heifers traded mostly 4.00 to 5.00 lower on all classes. The softer market was in line with the CME Feeder Cattle Board, which closed down the limit on all contract months. Quality was a little plainer than the previous week, but larger bunches of cattle on offer and still attracted stronger buyer interest despite condition. Despite a lower market trading activity was mostly active on moderate buyer demand. Not enough comparable sales on slaughter cows due to last weeks light test.
Midwest:
Ozark Regional Stockyards - West Plains MO
This Week: 3,142
Last Reported: 1,943
Last Year: 2,480
Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were 2.00-4.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves were very uneven from 6.00 lower to 6.00 higher. Peewee calves were sharply lower. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply. One stick-out sale was a draft of 19 hd. of 510 lb. steers which sold for 480.00/cwt. Cooler temperatures, drought conditions, and leveling prices had trailers backed up to the highway. Long-time weaned and vaccinated calves had no trouble matching the highs from the previous week, however most of the calves through the ring were short-weaned and not as attractive to the buyers.

Blue Grass Stockyards - Lexington, KY
This Week: 1,613
Last Reported: 1,981
Last Year: 2,369
Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was uneven and spotty with a good quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers were steady to 6.00 lower or greater in spots with a good supply and moderate demand. An increasing supply of fat bawling calves, and nearly a double digit drop in the futures market has limited the premiums buyers are will to pay and increased discounts for plainer or off colored cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls were 1.00 to 3.00 lower with a good supply and moderate demand.
