KO_LS795 Oklahoma City, OK Tue Dec 16, 2008 USDA-OK Dept Ag Mkt News Oklahoma National Stockyards, Oklahoma City, OK. Weekly Weighted Average Summary for Week of 12/15/2008. ***This is the last sale of the year. The Stockyards will be closed 2 weeks for the Holidays. The next sale will be January 5, 2009. *** Receipts this Week: 9766 Last Week: 14,235 Last Year: 6933 Monday Actual: 9281 Compared to last week: Feeder cattle steady to 1.00 higher, mostly steady. The opening was barley steady but strength was noted by midsession. Steer and heifer calves 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand good for feeders light to moderate for calves. Lack of wheat pasture along with the current dry and cold weather leaves little place for calves to go. It is notable that the weighted averages on number 1 steers weighing from 550-900 lbs ranges from 91.92 to 88.59, a spread of only $3.33. Most calves now have been weaned and the spread between calves and yearlings is not as distinct as it was. The weather is very cold with a high of 19 degrees on Monday but so far no moisture has fallen in the central region of the state, some snow is reported in the northwest. Supply included 68 percent over 600 lbs and 31 percent heifers.
